Question

When you manipulate an inconsistent linear equation eventually you will end up with a false statement like 5 =9 or 7=2 or 0=-5. That is your signal that the equation has no solutions.
Exercise #4: Manipulate each side of the following equations to determine if it has one solution,
infinite solutions (is an identity), or no solutions (is inconsistent). You do not need to solve.
(b) 2 (3m+1)+3(m+5)=4m+3(m+1)
(a) 3(x+8) −x+6=2(x+¹1) 2xt 22
(c) 5(y-1)-(y-2)=2(2y+3)-9
(d) 4(n+1)+2(n+3)=11n-(5n-2)
