(x+25)-(x-12) = 13 x + 25 - x + 12 = 13 37 = 13 This equation is inconsistent as the variables cancel out, showing that there is no solution.
Solving the second equation:
(x-12) + (16-2x) = 14 x - 12 + 16 - 2x = 14 -12 + 16 = 14 4 = 14 This equation is also inconsistent as the variables cancel out, showing that there is no solution.
Solving the first equation:
(x+25)-(x-12) = 13
x + 25 - x + 12 = 13
37 = 13
This equation is inconsistent as the variables cancel out, showing that there is no solution.
Solving the second equation:
(x-12) + (16-2x) = 14
x - 12 + 16 - 2x = 14
-12 + 16 = 14
4 = 14
This equation is also inconsistent as the variables cancel out, showing that there is no solution.
