Complete the equation so that it has no solution.

5x+12=[ ] x+9

3 answers

Subtracting x from both sides of the equation, we have:
5x - x + 12 = 9
4x + 12 = 9
Subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation, we have:
4x = -3
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we have:
x = -3/4.
Since x = -3/4 is a solution, there is no way to complete the equation so that it has no solution.

To create an equation with no solution, we can set the left and right sides of the equation to different values that cannot be equal.

For example, we can set the left side of the equation to a constant value, such as 0, and set the right side of the equation to a non-zero value.

So, one possibility is to complete the equation as follows:

5x + 12 = 0x + 9

In this case, there is no solution because 5x + 12 cannot be equal to 9 when 0x is added to it.
