One Solution, No Solution, Infinite Solutions

Front

What does it mean if an equation has infinitely many solutions?

Back

It means that there are an infinite number of values for the variable that satisfy the equation, often because the equation simplifies to a true statement (e.g., 0 = 0).

What is a condition for an equation to have no solution?

Back

An equation has no solution when the two sides are contradictory, such as 2 = 3, meaning there is no value for the variable that can make the equation true.
