The equation is $\"\"$ .

Solve the equation.

$\"\"$ (Original equation)

$\"\"$ (Subtract $\"\"$ from each side)

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

$\"\"$ (Subtract $\"\"$ from each side)

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

Consider the related function $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

Make a table for different values of $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$	$\"\"$	$\"\"$	$\"\"$	$\"\"$	$\"\"$
$\"\"$	$\"\"$	$\"\"$	$\"\"$	$\"\"$	$\"\"$

Graph:

Plot the points obtained in the table.

Graph the function $\"\"$ :

$\"\"$

Observe the graph:

The graph does not intersect the $\"\"$ –axis, hence the function has no $\"\"$ –intercepts.

The equation does not have any solution.
