Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

there cannot be any solution of the given linear equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the linear equation of 18x + $\frac{1}{2}$ = 6(3x + 25)

ii) transforming the equation to a simpler form we get

18x + $\frac{1}{2}$ = 18x + 150 which implies that $\frac{1}{2}$ = 150 which is not true.

iii) therefore there cannot be any solution of the given linear equation.
