In order for the equation to have no solution, we need the equation to be contradictory. To achieve this, we can eliminate the variable terms on both sides of the equation. Subtracting x from both sides gives:
5x + 12 - x = 9
Combining like terms gives:
4x + 12 = 9
Now, subtracting 12 from both sides gives:
4x = -3
Finally, dividing both sides by 4 gives:
x = -3/4
Since x is not a valid solution and does not satisfy the equation, there is no solution to the equation.
