Question

Part A. Solve the equation 5+x-14=x-7. In your final answer, be sure to state the solution and include all of your work.

Answer 1

5+x-14=x-7

Combine like terms on the left side:

x-9=x-7

Subtract x from both sides:

-9=-7

This is not a true statement, which means there is no solution to the equation.

Therefore, the solution is "No solution."
