3x − 15= 3x + 15 what is x?

We are given the following equation and want to find the possible values of x

$3x-15=3x+15$

Subtract both sides by 3x

$3x-15-3x=3x+15-3x$

$-15=15$

Now, we have this weird equation. Since -15 is NOT equal 15 and there is no other way we could have solved for x, there is no real solution to the given equation.

In other words, there is no value of x that makes the equation true.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

solmaris [256]

Answer: 9 houses

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Since 2/3 of the houses were sold last month, 1/3 of them were left.

45 * 1/3 = 15 houses left last month

Step 2:

Since 2/5 of the remaining houses were sold this month, 3/5 of them were left

15 * 3/5 = 9 houses left to be sold

there's your answer hope this helps :)
