Question 190368: can you please help me?
solve. If the equation has no solution, choose no real solution.
x%2B4%2F5=x%2B5%2F7
a. -1.5
b. 1.5
c. no real solution

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x+4/5=x+5/7
If we subtract x from both sides, we get 4/5=5/7, an impossibility.
Also -1.5+.8=-1.5+0.714 is an impossibility, so (a) is incorrect. And
1.5+.8=1.5+0.714 is also am impossibility. The answer is (c) no real solution.
