Question 19. (total 5pts) Solve the equation: x+2= x+8

Answer 1

⇝ No Solutions

In-depth explanation:

Hi there, to solve this equation, we need to isolate x.

`\sf{x+2=x+8}`

Subtract x from each side:

`\sf{x-x+2=8}`

Subtract 2 from each side:

`\sf{x-x=8-2}`

Combine the like terms on each side:

`\sf{x-x=6}`

`\sf{0=6}`

`\sf{0\\eq6}`

Since we have a false statement, we know that the equation has no solutions.

Answer 2

no solution

Explanation:

x + 2 = x + 8 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = x + 6 ( subtract x from both sides )

0 = 6 ← false statement

this false statement indicates the equation has no solution
