Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

To get no solution, you want to get rid of x and leave an incorrect equation.

In this case, we will use 1/3x.

1/3x + 2 = 1/3x - 3

We subtract 1/3x on both sides. This will cause the 1/3x's to cancel out.

1/3x - 1/3x + 2 = 1/3x - 1/3x - 3

2 ≠ -3

As we know, 2 is not 3. Therefore, there is no solution if 1/3x is used.
