Question

2. Which equation has no solution? *

Answer 1

Answer:

5(x+1) - 3x = 5 - 2(5-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

This has no solution. Explanation:

5(x+1) - 3x = 5 - 2(5-x)

5x + 5 - 3x = 5 -10 + 2x

2x + 5 = -5 + 2x

5 = -5

From the result above, clearly there is no x to satisfy the equation, because 5 (to the left) can never be the same as -5 (to the right).
