Question

The equation 1/14 (196x+17-10)=______ (20x+12x) has no solution. The equation (4x+24/122)=_____ (x+6/122)

Im sure the answer for the second one is 4, (4x+24/122) = 4 (x+6/122)

Answer 1

I'm having a bit of a problem deciphering (figuring out) what your posted questions are all about. Could you possibly take a screen shot of the original problem and share that screen shot?

Ok @mathmale

Answer 3

for "no solution" you want the "x terms" to be the same on each side
for example if you had

2x + 1 = 2x + 2
(notice we have 2x on both sides)
if we add -2x to both sides we get
2x - 2x + 1 = 2x - 2x + 2
the 2x-2x is 0 (on both sides) and we have
1=2
and that is not true i.e. there is no x that can make the equation true.

Answer 4

(1/14) *196x simplifies to 14 x
so you want 14 x on the other side

any idea what to multiply 12x by to make it 14x ?

Answer 5

is it 14/12, since 1/14 (196x+17-10)=(14/12) (20x+12x) makes no solution @phi

Answer 6

yes, or simplify 14/12 to 7/6
