Answer:

No solutions

Explanation:

Given the equation w = w + 1. There are no solutions to the given equation.

Notice that the left side is just w and the right side is w + 1, logically, w + 1 is always greater than w.

Try substituting any numbers in, there are no solutions that make both equal because w + 1 will make itself greater than w.

By solving for equation, subtract w both sides:


\displaystyle{w - w = w + 1 - w} \\ \\ \displaystyle{0 = 1}

The equation is false for all w-values. Hence, no solution.
