Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

Let's first try to solve this.

Notice that there is a 46x term on both sides, so we can subtract both sides by 46x, leaving us with:

-23 = 23

Well... this is a false statement: -23 does not equal 23.

Thus, this as no solution.

Answer:

No solutions found

Explanation:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

46*x - 23 - (46*x + 23) = 0

Equations that are never true

Solve : -46 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A non-zero constant never equals zero.
