Answer:


\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{no \: solution}}}}

Explanation:

Question :

  • How many solutions does 5x - 7 = 5x have ?

Step by step explanation


  • \bold{ \sf{5x - 7 = 5x}}

Remember that the equal terms on both side should be cancelled.


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ \cancel{5x} \: - 7 = \cancel{ 5x }}}


\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ - 7 = 0}}

The statement is false for any value of x. It cannot be further solved! So , 5x - 7 = -5x doesn't have any solution.

Hope I helped!

Have a wonderful time ! ツ
