Answer:
(Choice C) C Infinitely many solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, let us learn about solutions of linear equations in one variable.
The linear equations in one variable usually have one solution.
For example:
[tex]2x =x+3[/tex]
When we solve this:
[tex]2x-x=3\\\Rightarrow x=3[/tex]
One solution is [tex]x = 3[/tex]
But there can be situations when there are
1. No solutions:
For example:
[tex]x =x+9[/tex]
It means that value x is equal to value of x+9 which can never be true.
Truth is the term on Right Hand Side is always 9 greater than the value of Left Hand Side.
Such situations are called Contradictions.
Here, no solution exists.
2. Infinitely many solutions:
For example:
[tex]x+2x+8=3x+8[/tex]
The Right hand Side is just the simplification of the LHS.
And LHS is always equal to RHS no matter what is the value of variable [tex]x[/tex].
It means there are infinitely many solutions for this equation.
-----------------------------------------------------
Now, let us have a look at the given equation in the question:
[tex]-4x-7+10x=-7+6x[/tex]
Taking LHS: [tex]-4x-7+10x[/tex]
Taking the terms with [tex]x[/tex] on one side:
[tex]-7+10x-4x\\\Rightarrow -7+6x[/tex]
which is equal to Right Hand Side.
Hence, as we discussed in case 2 above.
For every value of [tex]x[/tex] the equation holds true.
[tex]\therefore[/tex] There exists infinitely many solutions to the given equation.
Correct answer is:
(Choice C) C Infinitely many solutions
