Does the following equation has a solution?

\[\large  \lceil x \rceil + \lceil 2x \rceil = 16 \]

Nope

 

5 - 5+10 does not equal 15

6 - 6+12 does not equal 16

anything in between - 6+ either 10 or 11 (doesnt matter does not equal 16)

\(\lceil 2x \rceil\) may not be equal to \(2 \lceil x \rceil\). But indeed, this equation has no solutions.
