What number must be placed in the box in the equation below to produce an equation that has more than one solution:
$1/2*y + 1/4 = 3 + \boxed{\phantom{400} } y$
+208 Well, lets see, for an equation to have more than one solution, even if that box has a "y" in it, then it still produces more than one solution (it's a quadratic equation). I don't know if you mean if it has infinite solutions, in that case, it would be:
\(\frac{y}{2}+\frac{1}{4}=3+xy\)
\(2y+1=12+4xy\)
\(2y-11=4xy\)
\(x=\frac{2y-11}{4y\:}\)
unless, of course y=0, since anything divided by 0 is undefined
