Math Problem Statement
what is the value of x if 5 +2 = 5 + x has no solution
Solution
The equation simplifies to:
Now, subtract 5 from both sides:
This means . Since this equation has a solution (namely, ), the equation does not fall into the category of "no solution."
An equation with no solution typically occurs when you have something like:
which is a contradiction.
Would you like further details or have any questions about this?
Here are five related questions:
- What kind of equations typically have no solutions?
- How do we determine when an equation has infinite solutions?
- What is a contradiction in mathematics?
- How do you solve an equation with variables on both sides?
- Can systems of equations have no solutions, and how?
Tip: When simplifying equations, look for contradictions (e.g., when both sides are equal but variables disappear).
