compare and contrast: two equations are listed below. solve each equation and
compare the solutions. choose the statement that is true about both solutions.
equation 1 equation 2
15x + 6 = 41 2x + 13 = 28
(2 points)
1) equation 1 has more solutions than equation 2
2) equation 1 and equation 2 have the same number of solutions.
3) equation 2 has more solutions than equation 1.
4) the number of solutions cannot be determined.

2)  Equation 1 and Equation 2 have the same number of solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given equations are

1)  15x + 6 = 41                and                   2) 2x + 13 = 28

Solving both equations, we get

Solving (1) :   15x + 6 = 41 ⇒   15x  = 41 -  6 = 35

or, x = 35/15 ⇒ x = 7/3

Solving (2) :   2x + 13 = 28⇒   2x  = 28 -  13  = 15

or, x = 15/2 ⇒ x = 15/2

So, from above solutions we can say that Equation 1 and Equation 2 have the same number of UNIQUE solution.
