Linear Equation Solutions

Linear equations and graphs illustration

📊 Part 1: Identifying Solution Types

1. Solve each equation and determine if it has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions.

a) 3x + 5 = 2x + 8

This equation has:

One solution
No solution
Infinitely many solutions

b) 4x - 7 = 4x + 2

This equation has:

One solution
No solution
Infinitely many solutions

c) 2(x + 3) = 2x + 6

This equation has:

One solution
No solution
Infinitely many solutions

2. What happens when you simplify an equation and get a false statement like "5 = 8"?

The equation has one solution

The equation has no solution

The equation has infinitely many solutions

3. What happens when you simplify an equation and get a true statement like "0 = 0"?

The equation has one solution

The equation has no solution

The equation has infinitely many solutions

🌍 Part 2: Real-World Applications

4. Two taxi companies have different pricing plans:

Company A: Cost = $3 per mile + $2 base fee

Company B: Cost = $3 per mile + $5 base fee

a) Write equations for both companies (use C for cost and m for miles):

Company A: C = _______________

Company B: C = _______________

b) Set the equations equal to find when costs are the same:

c) What does your answer tell you about when these taxi companies cost the same?

5. Two phone plans are described below:

Plan X: $25 per month + $0.10 per text

Plan Y: $25 per month + $0.10 per text

If you set up an equation to find when these plans cost the same, what type of solution would you expect and why?

🔍 Part 3: Analysis and Explanation

6. Look at the graph representations below and match each to its solution type:

a) Two parallel lines: _______________

b) Two intersecting lines: _______________

c) Two identical overlapping lines: _______________

7. In your own words, explain what it means when a real-world problem has "no solution."
8. Create your own example of a real-world situation that would result in infinitely many solutions.
