What is the solution set of the following equation? -8x + x + 15 = -7x + 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the left hand side is \(-7x+15\) and the right hand side is \(-7x+12\) so there is no way for them to be equal as \(-7x=-7x\) but \(15\neq -12\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or rather \(15\neq 12\) so there is no solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you also call it an empty set?
