Question

-onsider x + 4 = x + 8. What values could be substituted for x to make this a true

Answer 1

Answer:

No because upon subtracting x on both sides you obtain a false equation of 4=8.

The problem:

What are x values that satisfy:

x+4=x+8?

Step-by-step explanation:

No number can be substituted into x+4=x+8 to make it true.

There is no number that you can find such that when you add 4 to it will give you the same as adding 8 to it.

Also if you subtract x on both sides you obtain the equation 4=8.

4=8 is not true so x+4=x+8 is never true for any x.
