Q. Find the missing number so that the equation has no solutions.−2x−3=x−18
Identifying No Solutions: When does this equation have no solutions?An equation has no solutions when the variables on both sides have the same coefficient, but the constants are different.
Finding Missing Number: -2x - 3 = ____x - 18What is the missing number in the equation?The coefficient of x on the left side is −2.For the equation to have no solutions, the coefficient of x on the right side must also be −2, but the constants must be different.
Checking Constants:−2x−3=−2x−18Check if the constants are different.The constants are −3 and −18, which are indeed different.This confirms that the equation has no solutions.
