Solve and determine if the solution is no solution or identity. 5y + 4 - 3y = 12 + 2y (5 points)
no solution or identity
To solve the equation, we can collect like terms on both sides:
5y + 4 - 3y = 12 + 2y
(5y - 3y - 2y) + 4 = 12
0y + 4 = 12
4 = 12
Since the equation 4 = 12 is not true, there is no solution to the equation.
