Capitolo 1, Problema R.6.35

Determine whether each equation is an identity, a conditional equation, or a contradiction. Give the solution set. See Example 4. 2(x - 8) = 3x - 16

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Start by expanding the left side of the equation: multiply 2 by each term inside the parentheses to get \(2(x - 8) = 2x - 16\).
Rewrite the equation with the expanded left side: \(2x - 16 = 3x - 16\).
Next, isolate the variable terms on one side by subtracting \$2x$ from both sides: \(2x - 16 - 2x = 3x - 16 - 2x\), which simplifies to $-16 = x - 16$.
Then, isolate \(x\) by adding 16 to both sides: \(-16 + 16 = x - 16 + 16\), which simplifies to \(0 = x\).
Interpret the result: since \(x = 0\) is the only solution, the equation is a conditional equation with the solution set \(\{0\}\).

Types of Equations: Identity, Conditional, and Contradiction

An identity is an equation true for all values of the variable, a conditional equation is true only for specific values, and a contradiction has no solution. Recognizing these types helps determine the nature of the solution set.
