Consider the equation 2(5x-4)=ax+b; find a value for a and a value for b that the equation has no solution

Question

Also if you can be kind, can you also find infinitely many solutions

How to set it up

a=____

b=____

Thank you!

Answer 1

2(5x-4) = 10x-8 = ax+b

if a=10 and b= -9 or any number other than -8, then the equation has no solution. It's a contradition. No value of x could make the equation true

if a=10 and b = -8, there's an infinite number of solutions. Any value of x would make the equation true
