Question

five times x plus 12 is equal to what number times x plus nine?

Answer 1

five times x + 12 = ? times x + 9

To have no solution, the two sides of the equation must be equal but also have different slopes. Therefore, the missing number would have to be different from 5.

five times x + 12 = 6 times x + 9

Therefore, by making the missing number 6, the equation will have no solution.
