To complete the equation so that it has no solution, you would put "-5" in the blank. So the completed equation would be: 5x+12 = -5x+9.
To make the equation have no solution, we need to create an equation where both sides do not balance. This can be achieved by canceling out the x term on one side.
To cancel out the x term, we can subtract x from both sides of the equation:
5x + 12 - x = x + 9 - x
Simplifying the equation gives:
4x + 12 = 9
Next, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation to isolate the x term:
4x + 12 - 12 = 9 - 12
Simplifying it further, we get:
4x = -3
Finally, to solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:
4x/4 = -3/4
This gives us the solution:
x = -3/4
Therefore, in order to have no solution, the equation should be modified to:
5x + 12 = 4x + 9
