Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go through each equation one by one to determine which has no solution.
-
: Simplifying both sides: Adding to both sides: This is a contradiction, meaning this equation has no solution.
-
: Simplifying both sides: This is a true statement for all values of , so this equation has infinitely many solutions.
-
: Expanding both sides: This is also a true statement for all , meaning it has infinitely many solutions.
-
: Expanding both sides: Simplifying: This is also true for all , so this equation has infinitely many solutions.
Conclusion:
The equation with no solution is the first one:
