Answer:

The required values of P and Q such that the given equation has no solutions are : P = 102 and Q = 0

Explanation:

The equation is given to be : -68 + P = Qx + 34

Now, we need to find the values of P and Q such that the given equation has no solution

So, The given equation will have no solution if the value of x becomes 0

And this could happen only if Q = 0

⇒ -68 + P = Qx + 34

⇒ P = Qx + 34 + 68

⇒ P = Qx + 102

So, if Q = 0 then P = 102

Hence, The required values of P and Q such that the given equation has no solutions are : P = 102 and Q = 0
