Classify Solutions to Linear Equations - 8th Grade Math

1. Identify the solution type for $6x-3=6x-3$ after simplifying.

   Infinitely many solutions. Both sides are identical, so the equation is always true.

2. Identify the solution type for $3(x+2)=3x+6$.

   Infinitely many solutions. Distributing gives $3x+6=3x+6$, which is always true.

3. Identify the solution type of $8x=8x-4$.

   No solution. Subtracting $8x$ from both sides gives $0=-4$, which is false.

4. Find the solution type for $4x-7=4x-7$.

   Infinitely many solutions. Subtracting $4x-7$ from both sides gives $0=0$.

5. Which result shows exactly one solution: $x=0$, $6=6$, or $2=5$?

   $x=0$. This gives one specific value for $x$ ($x=a$ form).

6. Which simplified form indicates no solutions: $x=-1$, $7=7$, or $2=9$?

   $2=9$. A false equation like $2=9$ means no $x$ value works.

7. What does it mean if simplifying a linear equation gives $a=b$ where $a\ne b$?

   No solution (contradiction). A false statement like $3=7$ means no value of $x$ works.

8. Identify the solution type if an equation simplifies to $x=-4$.

   One solution. When simplified to $x=-4$, there's exactly one value that works.

9. Identify the solution type for $2x+7=17$ after simplifying.

   $1$ solution. Solving gives $x=5$, one specific value.

10. Which result indicates exactly one solution: $x=\frac{3}{4}$, $6=6$, or $1=8$?

    $x=\frac{3}{4}$. This gives $x$ a specific value, not a true/false statement.

    $x=12$. Multiply both sides by 2 to isolate $x$.

19. Which equation has infinitely many solutions: $5x=5x+2$ or $7(x-1)=7x-7$?

    $7(x-1)=7x-7$. The second expands to $7x-7=7x-7$, an identity.

20. Transform $2x+3=11$ to one of the forms $x=a$, $a=a$, or $a=b$.

    $x=4$. Subtract 3, then divide by 2.

    $8=1$. This is a false statement ($a=b$ form where $a≠b$).

22. Transform $6x+5=6x+5$ to one of the forms $x=a$, $a=a$, or $a=b$.

    $0=0$ (an $a=a$ form). Subtracting $6x+5$ from both sides gives this identity.

23. What is the solution to $\frac{1}{2}x+3=7$?

    $x=8$. Subtract $3$, then multiply by $2$.

24. What is the solution type of $3x-6=12$ after simplifying?

    No solution. Subtracting $9x$ from both sides gives $-5=1$, which is false.

26. What does it mean if simplifying a linear equation gives $x=a$?

    One solution: $x$ equals the single value $a$. When simplified, the variable has one specific value.

27. Find the solution of $5x+1=3x+9$.

    $x=4$. Subtract $3x$ and 1 from both sides: $2x=8$, so $x=4$.

28. What does the equation form $a=a$ indicate about the number of solutions?

    Infinitely many solutions. When simplified to $a=a$, the equation is always true for any $x$.

29. What does the equation form $a=b$ with $a\ne b$ indicate about the number of solutions?

    No solutions. When simplified to $a=b$ where $a≠b$, the equation is never true.

    No solution. Subtracting $2x$ from both sides gives $3=7$, which is false.

35. Identify the solution type if an equation simplifies to $5=8$.

    No solution. Since $5=8$ is false, no $x$ value can make the equation true.

36. What is the solution to $5x-10=0$?

    $x=2$. Add $10$ to both sides, then divide by $5$.

37. What is the solution to $2(x+4)=18$?

    $x=5$. Expand to get $2x+8=18$, then solve.

38. Transform $8x-2=8x+1$ to one of the forms $x=a$, $a=a$, or $a=b$.

    $-2=1$ (an $a=b$ form). Subtracting $8x$ from both sides gives this contradiction.

    $3=3$. This is a true statement ($a=a$ form), so all $x$ values work.

44. Which equation has no solution: $2x+1=2x+1$ or $2x+1=2x+3$?

    $2x+1=2x+3$. The second simplifies to $1=3$ after subtracting $2x$.

45. Which simplified form indicates exactly one solution: $x=6$, $0=0$, or $3=5$?

    $x=6$. A specific $x$ value means there's exactly one solution.
