Q. How many solutions does this equation have?6h=6h−10Choices:(A)no solution(B)one solution(C)infinitely many solutions
Analyze Equation: Analyze the equation 6h=6h−10.We start by looking at the equation and seeing if we can simplify or rearrange it in any way.
Subtract to Isolate Variable: Subtract 6h from both sides of the equation to try to isolate the variable h.6h−6h=6h−10−6hThis simplifies to:0=−10
Evaluate Simplified Equation: Evaluate the simplified equation.The equation 0=−10 is a contradiction because 0 can never equal −10. This means that there is no value of h that can satisfy the equation.
Conclude Number of Solutions: Conclude the number of solutions based on the contradiction. Since we have a contradiction, the equation has no solution.
