which of the ordered pairs in the form (x,y) is the solution equation?

Hint

You must do the multiplication and the division Before you do the subtraction!

How many solutions does the equation have?

a+5=1_(5a+25)

          5

A) one solution

B) infinite solutions

C) no solution

(-9,  3)   =  6(-9) - -3/2  =   -54 + 3/2   and this can't posssibly = 14

(2, - 4) = 6(2) - (-4/2)  =  12 + 4/2  = 12 + 2   = 14

So (2, -4)  is the solution that works......

(a + 5)  = (1/5) (5a + 25)       factor 5 out of the parentheses on the right

(a + 5)  = (1/5) (5) (a + 5)

(a + 5)  = 1(a + 5)

(a + 5)  = (a + 5)      this is an identity......it has infinite solutions
