Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities

The video tutorial explains how to solve an equation for x by simplifying both sides and using the distributive property. It demonstrates combining like terms and shows that the equation has no solution, as it results in a false statement. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of logical reasoning in solving equations.

What is the initial equation given in the problem?

• 8(3x + 10) = 28x + 14 - 4x

• 8x + 10 = 28x - 4x

• 3x + 10 = 28x - 14

• 8(3x + 10) = 28x - 14 - 4x

What operation is used to simplify the left-hand side of the equation?

• Division

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Distributive Property

What is the result of applying the distributive property to 8(3x + 10)?

• 24x + 80

• 24x + 10

• 3x + 80

• 8x + 30

How do you simplify the right-hand side of the equation 28x - 14 - 4x?

• Multiply by 2

• Combine 28x and -4x

• Add 14 to both sides

• Combine 28x and -14

What is the simplified form of the right-hand side after combining like terms?

• 24x + 14

• 28x - 14

• 28x - 4x

• 24x - 14

What happens when you subtract 24x from both sides of the equation?

• The equation becomes 80 = -14

• The equation becomes 24x = 24x

• The equation becomes 0 = 0

• The equation becomes 80 = 80

Why does the equation have no solution?

• Because 80 equals -14

• Because x equals 0

• Because 24x equals 24x

• Because 80 does not equal -14

What does it mean when an equation results in a statement like 80 = -14?

• The equation has infinite solutions

• The equation has no solution

• The equation has a unique solution

• The equation is undefined

What is the final conclusion about the equation?

• It has a unique solution

• It has no solution

• It is undefined

• It has infinite solutions
