Answer:

Explanation:

Let's start by getting everything with an
x on one side of the equation and everything else on the other side of the equation:


5 - 6 = 2x - 2x


-1 = 0

Because this equation is not true for any value that you put in for
x, there are no solutions for the variable
x.

Answer: No solution

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that when you try to put your variables together on one sides of the equation by subtracting 2x from both sides, the x terms cancel out on both sides and we no longer have a variable in the equation. Instead, we are left with 5 = 6.

Since 5 = 6 is a false statement,

we say that this equation has no solution.
