4x-5=4x+10
no solution
there is no way that 4x - 5 can also be 4x + 10
Were supposed to solve for X
whatever x is, it must be the same on both sides of the equal sign, and you cannot subtract 5 from a number, add 10 to the same number, and get the two sides equal
suppose i pick x = 10 then \[4\times 10-5=40-5=35\] and \[4\times 10+10=40+10=50\]
no matter what you pick for x, 4x will be the same on both sides, so you cannot find an answer to this one
Then why the hell is it in my math book lol
It is in there to show you that not all equation have solutions. You can figure this out by working the equation out. 4x -5 = 4x + 10 4x -4x -5 = 4x-4x +10 0-5 = 0 +10 -5 = 10 we know -5 does not equal 10 so this equation has no solution
to see if you were paying attention
if you subtract 4x from both sides you will get - 5 = 10 then what????
