Answer:
For no solution,
2x + 9 + 3x + x = 6x
For one solution,
2x + 9 + 3x + x = 15
For infinitely many solutions,
2x + 9 + 3x + x = 6x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2x + 9 + 3x + x = 6x
6x + 9 = 6x
Subtract 6x from both sides,
9 = 0 which is absurd and hence the equation has no solution.
2. 2x + 9 + 3x + x = 15
6x + 9 = 15
Subtract 9 from both sides.
6x = 6
Divide both sides by 6.
x = 1 and this is the only solution.
3. 2x + 9 + 3x + x = 6x + 9
6x + 9 = 6x + 9
Subtract 6x from both sides,
9 = 9, both sides are balanced which means, the equation has infinitely many solutions.
