17+2x=21+2x Please Help?

Question

17 plus 2x= 21 plus 2x

Answer 1

How can 2x + 17 = 2x + 21 ??????

Answer 2

there is no solution.  if you subtract 2x from both sides, you get 17=21.

Answer 3

there is no solution because when you work it out you end up with 17 = 21 which is not possible, meaning that there is no solution.

Answer 4

Please.  This is a fallacy.

No matter what the value of x both sides will never be equal.

Answer 5

no solution.......both subtract 2x.........we have 17 =21 .........so its impossible

Answer 6

Please check your problem over.I think you must have copied it wrong.

Can you see that it's impossible.

17 cannot be equal to 21, after you subtract the variables.

Seventeen plus 2x = seventeen plus 2x

not 21 plus 2x.

Do you see the contradiction?

Answer 7

17+2x=21+2x

=2x-2x=21-17

=0=4

**Once again, there is no possible solution.

Answer 8

Here it is:

17 + 2x = 21 + 2x

First subtract 17 to both sides.

2x = 4 + 2x

Then subtract 2x to both sides so that 4 will be by itself.

0 = 4

This answer is no solution because 4 is equal to 0.

Hope this helps. =)

Answer 9

17+2x=21+2x

0x=4

no solution or undefined because  you cannot divide by 0

Answer 10

This is a undefinable equation. Was it from school? There is a symbol that means that it is incorrect if your needing that but i cant remember it on the top of my head.

Answer 11

This equation is meaningless because you're adding different quantities to the same variable. Mathematically,

17 + 2x = 21 + 2x

2x -2x = 21 - 17

0 = 4, a false statement by definition.
