Question

This pl 1 of 15 (0 complete) Solve the equation. Then determine whether the equation is an identity, a conditional equation, or an inconsistent equation 4x + 16 8(x+2)-4x What is the solution? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. on The equation has a single solution. The solution set is O B. The solution set is (xlx is a real number). ° C. The solution set is What type of equation is this? O A. an identity O B. an inconsistent equation ° C, a conditional equation

Explanation / Answer

Since R.H.S. = 8(x+2) - 4x

= 8x + 16 -4x

= 4x + 16

= LHS

So, the equation is an identity as it is valid for all the real number x.

So, the solution for first part is:

B. The solution set is {x| x is a real number}

And since the equation is true for every value of x.

So it is an identity.

So answer for second part is:

A. an identity
