Question

The expression on the left side of an equation is shown below.

-4(x-2)+5x=


If the equation has no solution, which expression can be written in the box on the other side of the equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

4) x

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression on the left side simplifies to:

-4(x - 2) + 5x =

= -4x + 8 + 5x

= x + 8

To have an equation with no solution, you need the same x term on the right side but a different constant term. The x term on the left side is x. You need x on the right side but with a constant term different than 8.

Answer: 4) x
