How do you simplify the equation 5x + 6 = 2 + 3x?

Back

Subtract 3x from both sides: 2x + 6 = 2. Then subtract 6: 2x = -4. Divide by 2: x = -2. The equation has one solution.

What is the range of a function?

Back

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.

Front

What is the domain of a function?

Back

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) that the function can accept.

How do you simplify the equation 3x - 7 = 3(x - 3) + 2?

Back

Distribute: 3x - 7 = 3x - 9 + 2. Combine like terms: 3x - 7 = 3x - 7. This results in an identity, meaning infinite solutions.

How do you simplify the equation 3x - 8 = 3(x - 4) + 1?

Back

Distribute: 3x - 8 = 3x - 12 + 1. Combine like terms: 3x - 8 = 3x - 11. This results in no solutions.
