Question

Show that x = 0 is not a solution to the equation 2x = x + 5. Explain your answer. will brainlist

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you substitute 0 to x the equation will not be right.

2*0 = 0 + 5

0 ≠ 5

0 is not equal to right. So 0 is not a solution for the equation.

The solution is actually 5. X=5

Answer 2

Answer:

:3))

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = x + 5                         original equation

2(0) = 0 + 5                      plug in 0 ("solution") for x

0 = 0 + 5                          simplify 2(0)

0 = 5 (not true)                 simplify 0 + 5

Because the final answer to the equation wasn't true when using the input value of 0 for x, we know that 0 is not a solution to this equation.
