Complete the equation so that it has no solution.(1 point)

5x+12=
x+9 v

1 answer

To create an equation with no solution, we need to have a situation where the variables on both sides of the equation cancel out completely, resulting in an inequality that is always false.

In this case, let's subtract x from both sides of the equation:

5x + 12 - x = x + 9 - x

This simplifies to:

4x + 12 = 9

Next, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

4x + 12 - 12 = 9 - 12

This simplifies to:

4x = -3

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 4:

4x/4 = -3/4

This simplifies to:

x = -3/4

As we can see, this equation has a solution. Therefore, it does not satisfy the condition of having no solution.
