for each equation, choose the statement that describes its solution. if applicable, give the solution.


5(y+1)-7 = 3(y-1)+2y


no solution


y = ?


all real numbers are solutions

Respuesta :

Answer:

This equation has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perform the indicated multiplication:  5(y+1)-7 = 3(y-1)+2y

We get 5y + 5 - 7 = 3y - 3 + 2y.  Subtracting 5y from both sides yields -2 = -3, which is never true.  This equation has no solution.
