    A and C

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    -60x+32 = Qx+P

    Find:

    Which values of P and Q result in an equation with no solutions? Choose all answers that apply:

    (Choice A) A Q=-60 P=60

    (Choice B) B Q=32 P=60

    (Choice C) C Q=-60 P=-32

    (Choice D) D Q=32 P=-60

    Solution:

    The equation will have no solution if it reduces to ...

    0 = (non-zero constant)

    If we add 60x-32 to both sides, we get

    0 = 60x + Qx + P-32

    0 = (Q+60) x + (P-32)

    The x-term must be zero, so Q+60 = 0, or Q = - 60.

    The constant term must be non-zero, so P-32 ≠0, or P ≠ 32.

    The appropriate answer choices are those with Q=-60 and P≠32, A and C.
