Consider solving the equation for x.
3(3x + 4) - 5 = ax + b
which statements are true about the solution to the equation when substituting values for a and b as specified?
select all that apply.
a. if a=−3 and b=4 , then there is exactly one solution to the equation.
b. if a=−9 and b=13 , then there is no solution to the equation.
c. if a=9 and b=−2 , then there is no solution to the equation.
d. if a=−3 and b=−5 , then there are infinitely many solutions to the equation.
e. if a=9 and b=7 , then there is exactly one solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

To solve for , we need to use the distributive property

To find the right statement, we need to the given values.

For a=-3 and b=4,

So, choice A is true, because there's one solution to the equation.

For a=-9 and b=13,

The choice B is false.

For a=9 and b=-2

Choice C is correct, because there's no solution, because zero is not equal to -9.

For a=-3 and b=-5

Choice D is false, becuase there's only one solution.

For a=9 and b=7

Choice E is false, because there are infinite solutions in ths case.

Therefore, the right choices are A and C.

7

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 7

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3
