1. For the first equation:
5x + 5 = 5x + 4
Subtract 5x from both sides:
5 = 4
Since this is not true, there is no solution for the first equation.
2. For the second equation:
3x + 18 = 5x + 8
Subtract 3x from both sides:
18 = 2x + 8
Subtract 8 from both sides:
10 = 2x
Divide by 2:
x = 5
Therefore, the solution for the second equation is x = 5.
Solve the equations.
5x+5=5x+4
3x+18=5x+8
