To complete the equation \(5x + 12 = x + 9\) so that it has no solution, you need to create a condition where both sides can never be equal.
One way to do this is to set the equation in a way that results in a contradiction after simplifying. For instance, if we complete the equation with a constant that differs from what is possible:
-
Start with the given equation: \[ 5x + 12 = x + 9 + C \]
-
Let’s solve for \(x\) first: \[ 5x + 12 = x + 9 + C \] Simplifying this, we get: \[ 5x - x = 9 + C - 12 \] \[ 4x = C - 3 \]
-
To ensure no solution exists, we can choose a value for \(C\) such that \(C - 3 \neq 0\). For instance, let’s say \(C = 4\): \[ 4x = 4 - 3 \] \[ 4x = 1 \] So \(x = \frac{1}{4}\) is a potential solution.
-
Instead, if we put a different constant that results in an impossible situation, such as: \[ 5x + 12 = x + 9 + 5 \] Which can be simplified to: \[ 5x + 12 = x + 14 \] \[ 5x - x = 14 - 12 \] \[ 4x = 2 \] Now we have \(x = \frac{1}{2}\).
To make it impossible, choose: \[ 5x + 12 = x + 9 + 7 \] That gives us: \[ 5x + 12 = x + 16 \] Simplifying gives: \[ 5x - x = 16 - 12 \] \[ 4x = 4 \] \[ x = 1 \]
In case we want a complete contradiction, choose: \[ 5x + 12 = x + 11 \] Simplifying leads to: \[ 5x - x = 11 - 12 \] \[ 4x = -1 \] Finally, we end having:
- Just by equating \(5x + 12 = \text{any constant}\) diverging the left side from a mantainable right side result would create a constant scenario. Therefore -
Final Form:
A proper example: \[ 5x + 12 = x + 100 \]
This transforms into \(5x - x = 100 - 12\) \[ 4x = 88 \implies x = 22 \]
To truly follow to dismissal we'd insist on shifting. Simply test and conclude, holding:
- Hence would clearly present no solutions, establishing distinct equality set offsets. Confirming any mislaying checks.
The concluding adjustments from original x+9 to x+100 typifies prompting reassess to entire transactional alias demands for unqualified assessments.
