Question

enter a number into each box to create an equation that has exactly one real solution?3(8x+6)-x=[]x+[]

Answer 1

Let's expand the left-hand side of the equation:

$\begin{gathered} 3(8x+6)-x \\ =24x+18-x \\ =23x+18 \end{gathered}$

The right hand side is

___x + ___

We can put any number except "23" and "18" in the respective boxes for the algebraic equation to have one solution.

Let's put

___x + ___

2x + 10

So, first blank is "2" and second blank is "10".
