A. 2y=2x+2
B. y-2=x
C. Y=2x
D. Y=3x-1
Substitute y=x+2 into possible answers.
A. 2*(x+2) = 2*x + 2
2*x + 4 = 2*x + 2
subtracting 2*x from both sides:
4=2 <- This is NEVER true, so A gives NO solutions.
B. (x+2) - 2 = x.
x = x
This is ALWAYS true, allowing for x to be anything. Therefore, B gives infinite solutions.
To check the rest:
C. (x+2) = 2*x
Subtract x from both sides
2=x
C gives ONE solution.
D. (x+2) = 3*x - 1
Subtract x and add 1 to both sides.
3 = 2*x
Divide both sides by two.
x = 3/2.
D gives ONE solution.
The answer is B.
Y = 2x because x can be anyitng.
