Identify the equation which has no solution. 3x - 21 = 3(x + 7) 3x - 21 = 3(x - 7) 3x - 21 = x - 7 All of the choices

3x - 21 = 3(x + 7).

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 21 = 3(x + 7)

3x - 21 = 3x + 21

3x - 3x = 21 + 21

0 = 42

Since the two are not equal, this equation has no solution.

3x - 21 = 3(x - 7)

3x - 21 = 3x - 21

3x - 3x = -21 + 21

0 = 0

Since the two are equal, this equation has infinitely many solutions.

3x - 21 = x - 7

2x = 14

x = 7

This equation has one solution.

Since there is only one choice that makes sense, the answer won't be all of the choices.

The answer is A. 3x - 21 = 3(x + 7).

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
