Blaine White · Answer 1

1. a single variable linear equation that has no solution

x + 4 = x + 5

x - x = 5 - 4

0 = 1 (which is false)

2. a single variable linear equation that has one solution

2x + 4 = x + 5

2x - x = 5 - 4

x = 1

3. a single variable linear equation that has infinitely many solutions

x + 4 - 1 = x + 3

x - x = 3 - 4 + 1

0 = 0 (identity)
