Solution
This image contains a math problem with several parts. Here's a breakdown of the first equation (solving for X) and the options for which equation has no solution.
Solving for X:
The first equation given is: You have already started solving this equation:
- Distribute the terms:
- Combine like terms:
- Move all terms involving to one side and constant terms to the other side:
- Solve for :
Question 2: Which equation has no solution?
Now, let’s evaluate the options to identify the one with no solution.
-
A)
- Simplifying both sides, we get , which is impossible, so this has no solution.
-
B)
- Solving this gives , so . This has a solution.
-
C)
- Solving this gives , so . This has a solution.
-
D)
- This is true for all values of , so it has infinitely many solutions.
Thus, A) is the equation with no solution.
Would you like me to explain anything in more detail? Here are some additional related questions:
- How do you solve linear equations that have terms on both sides?
- What does it mean when an equation has no solution?
- How can you check if an equation has infinitely many solutions?
- How do you recognize and solve equations with fractions or decimals?
- Can an equation have one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions?
Tip: Always combine like terms first to simplify your equations before isolating the variable.
