Learning Objective

I can solve linear equations with one variable that have one, none, or infinite solutions.

  • 1

    If solving a linear equation results in a statement like x = a, where a is a number, then the equation has one solution.

  • 2

    If solving a linear equation results in a false statement like 3 = 5, then the equation has no solutions.

  • 3

    If solving a linear equation results in a true statement like 5 = 5, then the equation has infinite solutions.
