Part B is saying to equal the both equations, so


5x + 2 = 5x + 5


Take a look, we have the same multiplicative to our variable, but we have different sums, so, if we just say x = 0 we wil have:


5.0 + 2 = 5.0 + 5

0 + 2 = 0 + 5

2 = 5


And of course it's not true, 2 will never be equal to 5, so we can say there's no solution for x.


Another way to see this is:


5x + 2 = 5x + 5

5x - 5x = 5 - 2

0 = 3


0 of couse isn't equal to 3.

Happy Monday,

Your answer is that there is no solution. Here's why:

5x+2=5x+5

-5x -5x

2=5

since 2 does not equal 5, there is no solution for x.
