If we take a closer look at the two equations provided:
1. 2x + 3 = 2x + 7
2. 5x + 5 = 5x + 4
We can see by examining these two equations that they contain the same variable on both sides of the equation, which leads to a contradiction. By subtracting 2x from both sides of equation 1 and equation 2, we can clearly see that the left side of the equation will never be equal to the right side, as the constant values on both sides differ.
Therefore, there is no solution to these two equations.
Consider the two equations you put a square around, with no solution. Solve the equations.
2x + 3 = 2x + 7 5x + 5 = 5x + 4
