the temperature rose 9 degrees between 11:00 A. M. and 4:00 P. M. yesterday. The temperature at 4:00 P. M. was 87°F. James used the following equation to find the temperature t at 11:00 A. M. t + 9 = 87 What was the temperature at 11:00 A. M.?

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
