HELP! Basic algebra?

Question

can anyone help me with this equation

x - 7 = 19 + x

i have to find out what x is

thanks in advance

Answer 1

negative 5

-5 dont ask the steps i hated these i jsut did guess and check

Answer 2

x-x=19+7

ox=26

{ }

Answer 3

x - 7 ≟ 19 + x

There is no answer. No matter what the value of x, the expression is never true.

Answer 4

x - 7 = 19 + x

get the x terms together by subtracting the x from right side over to left

x - x - 7 = 19

-7 = 19

any time the variable "drops out" of the equation like this you are either left with a true or false number statement.  In this case -7 = 19 is false,  Thus the equation has NO Solution

If it was true -7 = -7 for example, then there are infinite solutions (x = all real numbers.)
