10%28x%2B2%29=9%28x-3%29%2Bx Start with the given equation.


10x%2B20=9x-27%2Bx Distribute.


10x%2B20=10x-27 Combine like terms on the right side.


10x=10x-27-20 Subtract 20 from both sides.


10x-10x=-27-20 Subtract 10x from both sides.


0x=-27-20 Combine like terms on the left side.


0x=-47 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=-47 Simplify.


Since this equation is never true for any x value, this means that there are no solutions.
