Complete the equation so that it has no solutions

Question

5x + 12 = ___x + 9

Answer 1

By subtracting x from both sides, we can complete the equation without solutions:

5x - x + 12 = 9

Combining like terms gives us:

4x + 12 = 9

Rearranging the equation:

4x = 9 - 12

4x = -3

Dividing both sides by 4 gives us:

x = -3/4

Therefore, there are no solutions to the equation 5x + 12 = ___x + 9.
