What is the definition of infinite solutions?

• no matter what constant is substituted in for the variable, the equation is ALWAYS true
• no matter what constant is substituted in for the variable, the equation will NEVER be true
• only this ONE solution will make the equation true

What is the definition of no solution?

• no matter what constant is substituted in for the variable, the equation is ALWAYS true
• no matter what constant is substituted in for the variable, the equation will NEVER be true
• only this ONE solution will make the equation true

What is the definition of one solution?

• no matter what constant is substituted in for the variable, the equation is ALWAYS true
• no matter what constant is substituted in for the variable, the equation will NEVER be true
• only this ONE solution will make the equation true
