When an equation is said to have no solution, it means that there is no value of x that can make a given equation true. Sample: Solve: 11 + 3x โ€“ 7 = 6x + 5 โ€“ 3x 3x + 4 = 3x + 5 If I continue to simplify this equation, 3x will cancel out. LOOK: 3x + 4 = 3x + 5 3x - 3x + 4 = 5 0 + 4 = 5 4 = 5....Is this a true statement? In other words, does 4 EQUAL 5? No, right? This equation obviously has no solution since there is no x value that can ever make the equation true.
