Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Zero ( or no) solutions
Discussion:
Suppose that 9x -16 = 9x - 23 as stated in the question. Subtracting 9x from both sides gives
(9x - 9x) - 16 = (9x - 9x) - 23 or
-16 = -23
As -16 does not equal -23 the equation has no (or zero) solutions
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
9x-16=9x-23
Subtract 9x from each side
9x-9x-16=9x-9x-23
-16 = -23
This is not true so there are no solutions
