Question
$$\frac{25}{23}+472 = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{25}{23}+472 &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 23 }. \\[1 em]23\cdot\frac{25}{23}+23\cdot472 &= 23\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]25+10856 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]10881 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 10881 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
