The expression on the left side of an equation is shown below.

-5 (x+2) + 3x = ___

If the equation has an infinite number of solutions, which expression can be written in the box on the other side of the equation?

A. - 5 (x-3) + 2x

B. - 5x-10

C. x-2x + 2 + 3x

D. - 2 (x + 5)

To have an infinite number of solutions, the equations have to be the same ... or equivalent.

-5 (x + 2) + 3x =

-5x - 10 + 3x =

-2x - 10 =

-2 (x + 5) ... so ur original equation can be broken down to this ...

so - 5 (x + 2) + 3x = - 2 (x + 5) would produce infinite solutions because it is basically the same expression <=
