For what values of m does the equation mx = 5 have a single solution? can m have a value for which the equation does not have solutions; have infinite number of solutions?

We are given equation : mx =5.

We need to solve the equation for m first.

m is being multiplied with x.

So, we need to get rid m from left side.

The reverse operation of multiplication is division, so we need to divide both sides by m, we get

x = .

Please see, we have m in denominator.

So, we can't have 0 in denominator.

For all other each real numbers x would have a single solution.

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
