Q. Find the missing number so that the equation has no solutions.____x+19=−2x−13
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+19=−2x−13To have no solutions, the coefficient of x on the left side must be the same as the coefficient of x on the right side, which is −2.
Determine Missing Number: Determine the missing number. The missing number must be −2 to match the coefficient of x on the right side.
Check Constants: Check if the constants are different.The constants are 19 on the left side and −13 on the right side. Since 19 does not equal −13, the constants are different.
Confirm No Solutions: Confirm that the equation with the missing number filled in has no solutions.−2x+19=−2x−13Since the coefficients of x are the same and the constants are different, this equation has no solutions.
