How do you solve one solution equations?

Example: x − 2 = 4

When we put 6 in place of x we get:

6 − 2 = 4

which is true

So x = 6 is a solution.

How about other values for x ?

For x=5 we get "5−2=4" which is not true, so x=5 is not a solution.

For x=9 we get "9−2=4" which is not true, so x=9 is not a solution.

etc

In this case x = 6 is the only solution.

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
