    Px - 45 = QX + 75

    Px - Qx = 75 + 45 = 120

    A. If P = - 45 and Q = - 75, then

    - 45x + 75 x = 120

    30x = 120 and x = 40

    B. If P = 45 and Q = - 15, then

    45x - 15x = 120

    30x = 120

    x = 40

    D. If P = 15 and Q = 75, then

    15x - 75x = 120

    - 60x = 120

    x = - 2

    C. If P = 15 and Q = 15, then

    15x - 15x = 120

    0 = 120 which is absurd.

    Hence, P = 15 and Q = 15 result in an equation with no solution.
