Solve and determine if the solution is no solution or identity. 5y + 4 - 3y = 12 + 2y (5 points)

Question

no solution or identity

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we can collect like terms on both sides:

5y + 4 - 3y = 12 + 2y

(5y - 3y - 2y) + 4 = 12

0y + 4 = 12

4 = 12

Since the equation 4 = 12 is not true, there is no solution to the equation.
