No solution

Explanation:

First push all the variables to one side. We get,

9x-8x-x = -12-1

we get,

0 = -13

This however is not possible. This means that the equation has no solution

There are no solutions

Explanation:

12-x=8x-1-9x

12-x = -x - 1

Add x on both sides

12 - x + x = -x - 1 + x

12 = -1

Then subtract 12 from both sides

12 - 12 = -1 -12

0=13

Thus,

There are no solution!
