The equation 2x - 12 = 2(x-10)-87 has no solutions.

Given: To find the value of x: 2x - 12 = 2(x - 10) - 87

What are algebraic expressions?

Algebraic expressions are sequences or combinations of characters containing letters, numbers, symbols, operators, and variables which are used to derive a certain relation among all of them.  

What is an algebraic equation?

When an algebraic expression has a value it becomes an algebraic equation. The algebraic equation helps to make a relation between different variables for a problem.

Let's solve the question.

2x - 12 = 2(x - 10) - 87

Adding 12 on both sides:

2x - 12 + 12 = 2(x-10) - 87 + 12

=> 2x = 2(x -10) - 75

=> 2x = 2x - 20 - 75

=> 2x = 2x - 95

Adding -2x on both sides:

2x - 2x = 2x - 95 - 2x

0 = -95

This is contradictory.

The equation is independent of x, and 0 = -95 is false. Therefore, the equation has no solutions.

Hence the equation 2x - 12 = 2(x-10)-87 has no solutions.
