To create an equation with no solution, we need to make sure that both sides of the equation are not equal no matter what value we substitute for "x."
To do this, we can start by subtracting "x" from both sides of the equation:
5x + 12 - x = x + 9 - x
By simplifying:
4x + 12 = 9
Next, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
4x + 12 - 12 = 9 - 12
Simplifying further:
4x = -3
To make sure there is no solution, we can divide both sides of the equation by 4:
4x/4 = -3/4
Simplifying:
x = -3/4
Thus, the complete equation with no solution is:
5x + 12 = -3/4 + 9
