Q. Find the missing number so that the equation has no solutions.____x−11=3x−4
Identify Conditions: Identify the conditions 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 after simplifying the equation.
Set Up Equation: Set up the equation with the missing number. ____x−11=3x−4
Determine Coefficient: Determine the coefficient of x that would make the equation have no solutions.Since the coefficients of x must be the same for there to be no solutions, the missing number must be 3.
Check Constants: Check if the constants are different with the found coefficient.3x−11=3x−4The constants −11 and −4 are different, so the equation with the coefficient 3 for x will have no solutions.
Conclude Missing Number: Conclude the missing number. The missing number is 3, which makes the equation have no solutions.
