Which of the following equations have exactly one solution? Choose all answers that apply:

A. [tex]12x + 12 = 13x - 12[/tex]

B. [tex]-13x + 12 = 13x + 13[/tex]

C. [tex]-13x + 12 = 13x - 13[/tex]

D. [tex]12x + 12 = 13x + 12[/tex]



Answer :

Let's analyze each of the given equations to determine which ones have exactly one solution.

### Equation (A)
[tex]\[ 12x + 12 = 13x - 12 \][/tex]

First, we'll isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex] by moving all terms involving [tex]\(x\)[/tex] to one side and the constant terms to the other side:

[tex]\[ 12x + 12 = 13x - 12 \][/tex]

Subtract [tex]\(12x\)[/tex] from both sides:

[tex]\[ 12 = x - 12 \][/tex]

Add 12 to both sides:

[tex]\[ 24 = x \][/tex]

Therefore, equation (A) has exactly one solution, [tex]\(x = 24\)[/tex].

### Equation (B)
[tex]\[ -13x + 12 = 13x + 13 \][/tex]

Again, we'll isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex] by moving all terms involving [tex]\(x\)[/tex] to one side and the constant terms to the other side:

[tex]\[ -13x + 12 = 13x + 13 \][/tex]

Add [tex]\(13x\)[/tex] to both sides:

[tex]\[ 12 = 26x + 13 \][/tex]

Subtract 13 from both sides:

[tex]\[ -1 = 26x \][/tex]

Divide both sides by 26:

[tex]\[ x = -\frac{1}{26} \][/tex]

Therefore, equation (B) has exactly one solution, [tex]\(x = -\frac{1}{26}\)[/tex].

### Equation (C)
[tex]\[ -13x + 12 = 13x - 13 \][/tex]

Isolating [tex]\(x\)[/tex], move all terms involving [tex]\(x\)[/tex] to one side and the constants to the other side:

[tex]\[ -13x + 12 = 13x - 13 \][/tex]

Add [tex]\(13x\)[/tex] to both sides:

[tex]\[ 12 = 26x - 13 \][/tex]

Add 13 to both sides:

[tex]\[ 25 = 26x \][/tex]

Divide both sides by 26:

[tex]\[ x = \frac{25}{26} \][/tex]

Therefore, equation (C) has exactly one solution, [tex]\(x = \frac{25}{26}\)[/tex].

### Equation (D)
[tex]\[ 12x + 12 = 13x + 12 \][/tex]

Isolating [tex]\(x\)[/tex], move all terms involving [tex]\(x\)[/tex] to one side and the constants to the other side:

[tex]\[ 12x + 12 = 13x + 12 \][/tex]

Subtract [tex]\(12x\)[/tex] from both sides:

[tex]\[ 12 = x + 12 \][/tex]

Subtract 12 from both sides:

[tex]\[ 0 = x \][/tex]

Therefore, equation (D) has exactly one solution, [tex]\(x = 0\)[/tex].

### Conclusion
Upon reviewing the calculations, it is evident that each of the equations (A), (B), (C), and (D) has exactly one solution.
So, the correct answer is:
- (A)
- (B)
- (C)
- (D)
