Answer:

There are no solutions

Explanation:

9x+18−5x=2+4x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

9x+18−5x=2+4x

9x+18+−5x=2+4x

(9x+−5x)+(18)=4x+2(Combine Like Terms)

4x+18=4x+2

4x+18=4x+2

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

4x+18−4x=4x+2−4x

18=2

Step 3: Subtract 18 from both sides.

18−18=2−18

0=−16
