consider the equation -5x=10x+3=5x+6 would it have one solution, no solutions, or infinitely many solutions

Alright, let's start by simplifying.

[tex]-5x+10x+3=5x+6[/tex]

Let's get all of the variables on one side.
Subtract 5x from each side to clear the right.

[tex]-5x-5x+10x+3=6[/tex]

We could also subtract out that 3...

[tex]-5x-5x+10x=3[/tex]

Combining like terms!
If we have 10x, and then subtract 5x and 5x...we're left with zero!

[tex]0=3[/tex]

However, this equation can't be true!
Since this always boils down to 0=3 (the variables don't even matter)...
There are no solutions for x that could even make the equation true!
