Question

Solve the following equation. Then, identify the equation as an identity, an inconsistent equation, or a conditional equation. 5(x + 9) = 6(x - 1) Select the correct choice below, and fill in the answer box if necessary. A. The solution set is {x|x notequalto }. (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a fraction. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) B. The solution set is { }. (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a fraction. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) C. The solution set is the set of real numbers. D. The solution set is the empty set, empty set.

Explanation / Answer

5(x + 9) = 6(x - 1)

Or, 5x + 45 = 6x - 6

Or, x = 51

It is a conditional equation.

Option-B , The solution set is 51.
