How to solve 5x + 10 = 5x + 11? Get the answer and stepwise instruction to solve linear equation in one variable 𝒙.
We have 5x + 10 = 5x + 11
First, we move the x terms to the LHS and constant terms to the RHS of the equation, inverting the sign on the terms. This is also called transposing method.
Transposition is a faster method and combines the following two steps, were we to solve the equation by:
i) Subtracting 10 from both sides
ii) Subtracting 5x from both sides
Therefore, 5x - 5x = 11 - 10
or, 0x = 1
Since 0 = 1 is a false statement, there is no solution.
