Q. Find the missing number so that the equation has no solutions.5x−18=____x−16
Identify No Solutions: When does this equation have no solutions?An equation has no solutions when the coefficients of the variable are the same on both sides, but the constants are different.
Find Missing Number:5x−18=____x−16What is the missing number in the equation?To have no solutions, the coefficient of x on the left side must be the same as the coefficient of x on the right side.Therefore, the missing number must be 5.
Check Constants: Check if the constants are different with the missing number filled in.5x−18=5x−16The constants are −18 and −16, which are different.This confirms that the equation has no solutions.
