Q. Find the missing number so that the equation has no solutions. ____x−14=2x−9
Identify Condition: Identify the condition for no solutions.For an equation to have no solutions, the coefficients of the variable terms must be equal, but the constants must be different.
Set Up Equation: Set up the equation with the missing number.____x - 14 = 2x - 9To 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. Since the coefficients must be the same for no solutions, the missing number is 2.
Verify Constants: Verify that the constants are different.After determining the missing number, we have:2x−14=2x−9The constants are −14 and −9, which are different. This confirms that the equation has no solutions.
