What is the solution set for an equation in which all numbers work? All real numbers.


How big is the solution set for an equation that cannot be solved? It depends on what you mean by "cannot be solved". In this context it seems "cannot be solved" means eventually getting to 0=0. This happens, for example, when solving for the intersection point of parallel lines that are the same line. In such a case the solution set is infinite.

If you need help understanding math so you can solve these problems yourself, then one on one online tutoring is the answer ($30/hr). If you need faster solutions with guaranteed detailed answers, then go with personal problem solving ($3.50-$5.50 per problem). Contact me at fcabanski@hotmail.com
