The equation x = x - 5 can be simplified as follows:

Adding 5 to both sides of the equation: x + 5 = x

Subtracting x from both sides of the equation: 5 = 0

Since the equation 5 = 0 is not true, we can conclude that there are no solutions to this equation.

Therefore, there are no values of x that support this equation.
the equation has what soultions
I apologize for the previous incorrect response. The equation x = x - 5 has an infinite number of solutions.

To see this, we can simplify the equation as follows:

x = x - 5

Subtracting x from both sides of the equation:

0 = -5

This is a contradiction, as 0 cannot be equal to -5. Since this equation is always false, any value of x can be substituted into the equation, and it will not satisfy the equation. Therefore, there are an infinite number of solutions to this equation.

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Let's solve the equation x = x - 5 again to find the correct solutions:

x = x - 5

Subtracting x from both sides: 0 = -5

This equation is a contradiction and has no solution. Therefore, there are no values of x that make the equation true.
a value of x that makes the equation true is blank
