Question

Create your own two-step equation with NO SOLUTION as the solution. Show the steps to solving the equation and explain in words why your work proves that there are NO SOLUTIONS.

Answer 1

For there to be no solution, you need the unknown to cancel and the constants that remain to me unequal. That way when you are done you get something like 3=4, which is untrue, so no solution. So you could start with that, or something like it, and work backwards by adding things to both sides, and there you are.
