Q. How many solutions does this equation have?\newline3n8n=5n3n - 8n = -5n\newlineChoices:\newline(A)no solution\newline(B)one solution\newline(C)infinitely many solutions
  1. Combine like terms: Simplify 3n8n3n − 8n by combining like terms.\newline3n8n3n − 8n\newline= (38)n(3−8)n\newline= 5n−5n
  2. Identify number of solutions: Now we have the equation 5n=5n-5n = -5n. How many solutions does this equation have? 5n=5n-5n = -5n is true for every value of nn. The equation 3n8n=5n3n - 8n = -5n has an infinite number of solutions.
