Find the value of the parameter X
To solve this equation for , we will follow these steps:
Let's break it down:
Step 1: Simplify the left side:
The left side of the equation is . Combine the like terms and :
Step 2: Simplify the right side:
The right side of the equation is . Combine the constant terms and :
Step 3: Set the simplified equation:
Now the equation is:
Step 4: Analyze the equation:
If we attempt to isolate by adding to both sides, we get:
This statement is false. Since the manipulation leads to a false statement without any variable , the original equation has no solution.
Therefore, the equation cannot be true for any real number value of . Thus, the correct answer is: no solution.
No solution
\( x+7=14 \)
\( x=\text{?} \)
When you simplify and get a false statement like -7 = 12, it means there's no value of x that makes the original equation true. The equation is inconsistent!
No solution means the equation is impossible. x = 0 means zero is the answer. If you substitute x = 0 and both sides equal the same number, then 0 is the solution!
No! Getting after combining like terms is the correct result. This false statement tells you the equation has no solution.
You can write it several ways: "No solution", "∅" (empty set), or "Inconsistent equation". All mean the same thing!
Yes! Try substituting any number for x in the original equation. You'll see that both sides never equal each other, confirming there's no solution.
