−7x−12=
x+12

1 answer

To make the equation have no solution, we need to create an equation where the variable cancels out and we are left with a contradiction. To do this, we can set the coefficients of the x term in both sides of the equation to be equal but with opposite signs.

So, we can set -7x equal to x, which gives us:

-7x = x

Since the coefficients are not equal after simplifying, this equation has no solution.
