Kate begins solving the equation (6x – 3) = (6x – 4). Her work is correct and is shown below. (6x – 3) = (6x – 4)
4x – 2 = 3x – 2
When she adds 2 to both sides, the equation 4x = 3x results. Which solution will best illustrate what happens to x ?
The equation has infinite solutions.
The equation has one solution: x = 0.
The equation has one solution: x = .
The equation has no solution.

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
