Question

Drag an expression to the box to create an equation with no solutions.

4x + 3 =
a) x+3=
b) 3x+4=
c)2x+2x+3=
d)4x+3=

Answer 1

To create an equation with no solutions, set the expression x + 3 equal to 4x + 3 and solve it step by step.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create an equation with no solutions, we need to ensure that the equation is inconsistent and cannot be satisfied. In this case, the correct expression is x + 3. When we set this expression equal to 4x + 3, we get:

x + 3 = 4x + 3

Subtracting x from both sides, we get:

3 = 3x + 3

Finally, subtracting 3 from both sides, we get:

0 = 3x

This equation has no solutions because the variable x cancels out on one side, resulting in an inconsistency.
