To solve the equation \( 98 + z = 1998 + z \), we can simplify it step by step:
-
Start with the equation: \[ 98 + z = 1998 + z \]
-
Subtract \( z \) from both sides: \[ 98 = 1998 \]
This statement is not true, indicating that the equation has no solution.
To conclude, the equation has no solution because the left-hand side (98) does not equal the right-hand side (1998).
