Simplify each side by distributing. -4x-12 = -4x-4-5 Simplify -4x-12 = -4x-9 -12 doesn't equal -9 There is no solution
For all of the values you plug in for x, you get -12=-9 as @DSS has showed above. Thus, for no value of x you get both the left and right quantities equal.
I am not really this kind of equation because it suppose to be no solution but it is not really true
I m kind of confused in problem like this
Right...it's not true. The x values cancelled out. You couldn't substitute any value for x that would make these work because -12 is not equal to -9
