:

Equations which are never true:

5.1 Solve : 4 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

5.2 Solve : x-9 = 0

Add 9 to both sides of the equation :

x = 9

One solution was found :

x = 9

here you go

Answer 2

6x-12=2x+24

combine like terms

4x-12=24

add 12 on both sides

4x=36

divide by 4

answer is:x=9
