Answer:
• The equation is a contradiction
• The solution set is Ø
Step-by-step explanation:
The simplest approach to this problem is solving for the value of y, and then identifying what type of equation it is. Remember that conditional equations have a defined value, contradiction equations have no solutions, and identity type equations have infinite solutions. Let's solve for y,
[tex]\mathrm{Given:5y\:+\:5\:-\:11y\:=\:-\:2y\:-\:7\:-\:4y},\\\\\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\\\\=> -6y+5=-2y-7-4y\\=> -6y+6y=-6y-12+6y\\=>0=-12[/tex]
Both sides are not equal, and hence we have no solutions. Our equation is contradiction, and the solution set is Ø.
