2i + 3 = 2i - 5

1 answer

To solve the equation, we want to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:
2i + 3 = 2i - 5

Let's move all terms containing "i" to the left side and the constants to the right side by subtracting 2i from both sides:
2i - 2i + 3 = 2i - 2i - 5

This simplifies to:
3 = -5

Since 3 is not equal to -5, there is no solution to this equation.
