Q. Find the missing number so that the equation has no solutions. ____x−13=5x+5
Identify Conditions: Identify the conditions for 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.
Set Up Equation: Set up the equation with the missing number.____x−13=5x+5To have no solutions, the coefficient of x on the left side must be the same as the coefficient on the right side, which is 5.
Determine Missing Number: Determine the missing number. Since the coefficients must be the same for no solutions, the missing number is 5.
Check Constants: Check if the constants are different.The constants are −13 on the left side and +5 on the right side. Since they are different, the equation will have no solutions.
