Q. Find the missing number so that the equation has no solutions.___x+4=3x+6
Identify Conditions: Identify the conditions for no solutions.For an equation to have no solutions, the coefficients of the variables must be the same on both sides, but the constants must be different.
Set Up Equation: Set up the equation with the missing number.____x+4=3x+6We need to find the missing number that will make the coefficients of x the same on both sides.
Equate Coefficients: Equate the coefficients of x.Since we want no solutions, the missing number should be equal to the coefficient of x on the right side of the equation, which is 3.Missing number: 3
Check Constants: Check if the constants are different.Now that we have the coefficients the same, we need to check if the constants are different.On the left side, we have +4, and on the right side, we have +6.Since 4 is not equal to 6, the constants are different.
Conclude No Solutions: Conclude if the equation has no solutions.With the missing number being 3, the equation becomes:3x+4=3x+6Since the coefficients are the same and the constants are different, the equation has no solutions.
