Solve 2 + 2x = 3 + 2x using inverse operations. How does the algebraic result show you that there is no solution?

lol we just said there was "NO SOLUTION"

SHOOT WRONG QUESTION I TYPED
OpenStudy (misty1212):
your math teacher is being stupid
but we can do it anyways
OpenStudy (misty1212):
kk
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how many solution do you think the equation -10x + 3 = 5x -27 has? explain. then find the solution.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
please you have to solve it, first
OpenStudy (misty1212):
lets add \(10x\) to both sides to get rid of the annoying \(-10x\) on the left
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok. do i add the ten to the -27 on the right side?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
please add 27 to both sides, what do you get?
OpenStudy (misty1212):
no dear you do not add the ten to the minus 27, because it is \(10x\) not \(10\)
you add the \(10x\) to the \(5x\)

so then you have x + 3 = 15x - 27?
OpenStudy (misty1212):
not quite
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
no, please you have
3=15x -27
OpenStudy (misty1212):
the point of adding \(10x\) was to get rid of the \(-10x\) on the left, now it is gone for good
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh ok. so its 3 = 15x -27

it doesn't leave behind a residual \(x\) hanging around, they are gone for good
OpenStudy (misty1212):
yeah what you wrote
now add \(27\) to both sides so the variable is by itself on the right, and the numbers are on the left
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
now, please add 27 to both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3- = 15x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OOOPs. 30 = 15x

OpenStudy (misty1212):
yay!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
great! now divide?
OpenStudy (misty1212):
yes !!
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
then divide both sides by 15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
don't u divide by 15?

OpenStudy (misty1212):
yes
OpenStudy (misty1212):
or just think what number you would multiply 15 by to get 30
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
that's right!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it has one solution right? the question implies it has more
