PLEASE ANSWER NEED HELP BAD AND IM OUT OF POINTS T-T To determine whether they used the same number of tiles, set the two expressions equal to each other and solve for x. Is there a solution for x? Why or why not? If there is a solution, what is it?

Here is the equation stuff to solve:

Expression for the number of tiles Bruce used : 5x+2

Expression for the number of tiles Felicia used : 5x + 5

How could you change the equation so it has infinitely many solutions? What would infinitely many solutions mean in terms of the situation?

To determine whether they used the same number of tiles, set the two expressions equal to each other and solve for x. Is there a solution for x? Why or why not? If there is a solution, what is it?

5x +2 = 5x + 5 (subtract 5x and 2 on both sides)

0 = 3 No solution

How could you change the equation so it has infinitely many solutions?

Have 2 or 5 change because they need to be equal to each other. Its fine what you put as long as the equal sign is the same as the other side like 3 = 3 for example or 5 = 5, something like that. Once they have the same end then you can substitute the number to x.

What would infinitely many solutions mean in terms of the situation?

x represents the number of tiles they used

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6

x
