Jeremy is solving the following linear equation:
5(x − 3) + 2 = 2x + 7 + 3x

His final two steps are as follows:
5x − 13 = 5x + 7
-13 = 7

Which statement correctly interprets Jeremy's solution?

The solution is x = 5.

The solution is the ordered pair (-13, 7).

There is no solution because -13 = 7 is a false statement.

There are infinitely many solutions because -13 = 7 is a false statement.

since we know that the two functions are equal, f (x) = g

(x), therefore when we equate the two equations the result should be similar to

3x = x – 4:

a. f(x) = 3x, g(x) = x – 4

equating the two functions:

3x = x – 4             (correct)

so we now got our answer (a)

a mantle plume is an upwelling of abnormally hot rock within the earth's mantle. as the heads of mantle plumes can partly melt when they reach shallow depths, they are thought to be the cause of volcanic centers known as hotspots and probably also to have caused flood basalts.
