What makes an equation have no solution?
How can you write an inequality with no solution?

There are infinitely many answers. One possible answer is
x < x – 1

5x > 5x
Could you also have a constraint on what x can be? ex. 1/x > x {for all x >0} is an inequality with no solution. Meaning there ARE solutions, but they are not part of the allowed domain for x.
23x = 23a 2/3
