\textbf{Heya !}


\bigstar\textsf{Given:-}

  • an equation =
    \sf{5(x+1)=5x}


\bigstar\textsf{To\quad find:-}

  • x = ?


\bigstar\textsf{Solution \quad steps:-}

first use the distributive property


\sf{\longmapsto{ 5x+5=5x}

subtract both sides by 5x


\sf{\longmapsto{0x+5=0} (strange expression right)


\sf{\longmapsto 0=-5} (whattt ?!)

the above statement's false, so the equation has no solutions

`hope that was helpful to u ~
