Question

How many solutions does the following equation have ?
−3x+9−2x=−12−5x

Answer 1

`\text{Solve for x:}\\\\-3x+9-2x=-12-5x\\\\\text{Combine like terms}\\\\-5x+9=-12-5x\\\\\text{Add 5x to both sides}\\\\9=-12\\\\\text{Since that's not valid, there would be no solutions}\\\\\boxed{\text{No solutions}}`
