To solve the equation 2x - 3 = 2x - 5, we can start by simplifying the equation:
2x - 3 = 2x - 5
By subtracting 2x from both sides, we can eliminate the x term:
-3 = -5
Since -3 is not equal to -5, the equation has no solution.
Therefore, the correct answer is D: no solution.
To solve the equation 2x - 3 = 2x - 5, we can start by simplifying both sides of the equation.
First, let's subtract 2x from both sides of the equation to isolate the constant terms:
2x - 2x - 3 = 2x - 2x - 5
Simplifying further:
-3 = -5
Since -3 is not equal to -5, this means the equation is inconsistent and has no solution.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) no solution.
To solve the equation 2x - 3 = 2x - 5, let's start by simplifying both sides of the equation.
First, we can eliminate the 2x terms on both sides by subtracting 2x from both sides:
2x - 2x - 3 = 2x - 2x - 5
This simplifies to:
-3 = -5
Now we have a false statement, which means there is no solution to the equation. The correct answer is D) no solution.
