Q. How many solutions does this equation have?\newline2k=10k+8k-2k = -10k + 8k\newlineChoices:\newline(A)no solution\newline(B)one solution\newline(C)infinitely many solutions
  1. Combine like terms: Simplify the right side of the equation by combining like terms.\newline2k=10k+8k-2k = -10k + 8k\newline=(10+8)k= (-10 + 8)k\newline=2k= -2k
  2. Verify equality: Now we have 2k=2k-2k = -2k. This statement is true for every value of kk. Therefore, the equation has an infinite number of solutions.
