Question

Solve: 2x - 3 = 2x - 5. A) -2 B) 0 C) 5 3 D) no solution

Answer 1

D.) No solution

2x - 3 = 2x -5

That is because it they were to be equal to each other it would be either

2x - 3 = 2x - 3 or

2x - 5 = 2x -5

- 3 cannot be equal to -5

2x is in both the equation so they cannot be equal to each other

Answer 2

2x -2x - 3 = 2x - 2x - 5        subtract 2x from both sides

-3 = -5    FALSE

Answer: D) no solution
