Q. Find the missing number so that the equation has no solutions. 2x+16=____x+7
Identify No Solutions: Understand when an equation has no solutions. An equation has no solutions when the two sides of the equation are parallel lines, which means the coefficients of x are the same, but the constants are different.
Determine Coefficients: 2x + 16 = ____x + 7To have no solutions, the coefficient of x on both sides must be the same, but the constants must be different.
Find Missing Number: Find the missing number. The coefficient of x on the left side is 2. To have no solutions, the coefficient of x on the right side must also be 2.
Check Constants: Check the constants.The constant on the left side is 16, and on the right side is 7. Since 16=7, the equation will have no solutions if the coefficients of x are the same.
