To make the equation have no solution, we need to get rid of the variables on both sides of the equation.
To do this, we can subtract x from both sides:
5x + 12 - x = x + 9 - x
This simplifies to:
4x + 12 = 9
Next, we can subtract 12 from both sides:
4x + 12 - 12 = 9 - 12
This simplifies to:
4x = -3
Finally, we divide both sides by 4 to solve for x:
4x/4 = -3/4
This simplifies to:
x = -3/4
Therefore, the equation 5x + 12 = x + 9 has a solution of x = -3/4.
Complete the equation so that it has no solution.(1 point)
5x+12= x+9
