A landscape company, Patio Town, told William it would cost $3,200 to build a new patio in his backyard.

The materials needed make up 40% of the total cost.
The expense of hiring workers makes up 60% of the total cost.
William decided to do all the work himself and to buy all the materials from Patio Town. How much did William pay Patio Town for materials?

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
