Complete the equation so that it has no solution.
5x + 12 = ?x + 9

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
yeah, but the original equation was
5x + 12 = ?x + 9
so if ?=5, then you have
5x + 12 = 5x + 9
which is not true for any x.

To create an equation with no solution, we need to make sure that the variable terms cancel out. To do this, we can subtract the same number from both sides of the equation to get:

5x + 12 - 9 = ?x

Simplifying this equation, we get:

5x + 3 = ?x

Now, we can see that there is no number we can substitute for "?" that will make this equation true. Therefore, this equation has no solution.
