Question 107660


{{{2x-3+9x-4=3x+8x-10}}} Start with the given equation




{{{11x-7=3x+8x-10}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{11x-7=11x-10}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{11x=11x-10+7}}}Add 7 to both sides



{{{11x-11x=-10+7}}} Subtract 11x from both sides



{{{0x=-10+7}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{0x=-3}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{0=-3}}} Simplify


Since this equation is <font size=4><b>never</b></font> true for any x value, this means there are no solutions.
