What are all the ways to classify each number? (whole number integer, or rational number. -5

Explanation:

The set of whole numbers is {0,1,2,3,4,...} which consists of positive values and 0. So we can cross "whole numbers" off the list since -5 is negative.

The set of integers is {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...} which now considers the negative whole numbers. The value -5 is in this list. So -5 is an integer.

It's also a rational number because -5 = -5/1 showing it is a fraction or ratio of two integers.

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

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
