To make the equation \( 5x + 12 = \_\_ x + 9 \) have no solution, we need to set the right side in such a way that it cannot equal the left side for any value of \( x \).
One way to do this is to make both sides equal but create a contradiction. For example, we can place a constant that, when simplified, cannot equal the expression on the left side.
Let's choose the right side as follows:
\[
5x + 12 = 5x + 1
\]
Now let's see if there can be any solution:
1. Subtract \( 5x \) from both sides:
\[
12 = 1
\]
This is a contradiction, as \( 12 \) does not equal \( 1 \).
Thus, the completed equation is:
\[
5x + 12 = 5x + 1
\]
This gives us an equation with no solution.
