Consider the equation 4x + 1 = 2x + 5 (a) Why can't you determine whether this equation is true or false?

(b) If x= 3. Will the equation be true? How can you tell?

(c) Show that x = 2 makes the equation true.

(a) Without solving the equation we can't determine whether its true or false.

(b) If x = 3

4x + 1 = 2x + 5

4(3) + 1 = 2(3) + 5

12 + 1 = 15 + 5

13 = 20

No, if x = 3, the equation will not be true.

(c) 4x + 1 = 2x + 5

4x - 2x = 5 - 1

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

This shows that x = 2 makes the equation true.

2/3

step-by-step explanation:

(0,,,0)

step-by-step explanation:

the table of x and y values is shown in the attached pic(part of question)

we have to decide according that graph

given points are (0, 0) (–1, 0), (2, 0)

when we graph these points on graph they show an increasing line as shown in the attached pic
