Question

5x-7x-10=-2x+9-10
What's the step by step answer? I can't seem to solve it

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

given

5x - 7x - 10 = - 2x + 9 - 10 ( collect like terms on both sides )

- 2x - 10 = - 2x - 1 (add 10 to both sides )

- 2x = - 2x + 9 ( add 2x to both sides )

0 = 9 ← not possible

This indicates the equation has no solution
