Answer:

No solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

10 + 6x = 15 + 9x - 3x

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Combine like terms: 10 + 6x = 15 + 6x
  2. Subtract 6x on both sides: 10 ≠ 15

Here, we see that x would equal no solutions. You can also think of it as parallel lines; they have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so they will never intersect.
