What value of g makes the equation (x 7) (x-4)x 2 gx-28 true?
14
What is an equation that is true for every value?
how about X = X
What does value of variables mean?
In algebra, variables are represented by letters such as x. A variable could be any number. That number is the "value" of the variable. In an expression, you can choose a number to put in for x, and simplify to get a number which is the value of the expression. In an equation, you can solve for the value of x, which will be the value of x which makes the equation true.
What is a linear equation that is not true for even one real number and therefor has no solution?
A linear equation in one variable. Case 1: A conditional equation: True only for a value of the variable. Ex. x + 2 = 3, True only when x is 1. Case 2: Identity Equation: Always true. Ex. x + 2 = x + 2, True for any value of x. Case 3: x + 1 = x + 5, False for any value of x. We call a solution any value of the variable that satisfies the equation, meaning if we replace the variable with that value, the equation becomes a true statement. Example: -2(x -3) = 8 - 2x -2x + 6 = 8 - 2x (add 2x and subtract 6 to both sides) 0 = 2 False. Since this equation, which is equivalent to the original equation, is false, then the original equation is also false. Meaning, there is no real number for x that could satisfy the equation. So there is no solution to the equation.
What does it mean to be a solution of an equation?
the solution is the answer to the equation. A solution is any value that makes the equation true. x + 2 = 10 has exactly one solution ....x=8 x + 2 > 10 has infinitely many solutions....x=9 or 10 or 11 or 12 or 13, etc
