Q. Find the missing number so that the equation has no solutions.\newline4(x+8)=3(2x+7)+____x+9-4(-x + 8) = -3(2x + 7) + \_\_\_\_x + 9
  1. Distribute Terms: Distribute the 4-4 and 3-3 across the terms inside the parentheses.\newline4(x+8)=4(x)+4(8)-4(-x + 8) = -4(-x) + 4(8)\newline3(2x+7)=3(2x)3(7)-3(2x + 7) = -3(2x) - 3(7)\newlineSimplified: 4x32=6x21+____x+94x - 32 = -6x - 21 + \_\_\_\_x + 9
  2. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.\newline6x+____x21+9-6x + \_\_\_\_x - 21 + 9\newlineSimplified: (6+____x)x12(-6 + \_\_\_\_x)x - 12
  3. Set Coefficients Equal: Set the equation to have no solutions by making the coefficients of xx equal on both sides and the constants not equal.\newline4x32=(6+____x)x124x - 32 = (-6 + \_\_\_\_x)x - 12\newlineFor no solutions, 4=6+____x4 = -6 + \_\_\_\_x and 3212-32 \neq -12
  4. Solve for x: Solve for the missing number ____x.4 = -6 + ____x____x = 4 + 6____x = 10
