Given the equation:
4b - 10 = 2(2b - 5 )
Determine the number of solutions.
Solution:
In order to determine the solutions of the equation, we simply distribute first 2 to each value inside the parenthesis.
4b - 10 = 2 (2b - 5)
4b - 10 = 4b - 10
Since we have the same values on both sides of the equation, this means that there will be no solution. If we transpose 4b - 10 to the other side, it will result to 0.
Final answer:
A. zero solutions.
