Well, since it is multiple choice, you can just eliminate the answers. If you take 5/4 it equals 1.25. Then you go through the choices. All of the numbers, except 7.2 (C) are infinite. And, 7.2 gives you the 1.25 from before... which is your answer
If this helped, brainliest would be great! Only need one more to level up :)

Answer:
See the attachment. Brainly doesn't like function constructs using f as a function name. Hence the picture.
Simplifying
5x(4y + 3x) = 5x(3x + 4y)
Reorder the terms:
5x(3x + 4y) = 5x(3x + 4y)
(3x * 5x + 4y * 5x) = 5x(3x + 4y)
Reorder the terms:
(20xy + 15x2) = 5x(3x + 4y)
(20xy + 15x2) = 5x(3x + 4y)
20xy + 15x2 = (3x * 5x + 4y * 5x)
Reorder the terms:
20xy + 15x2 = (20xy + 15x2)
20xy + 15x2 = (20xy + 15x2)
Add '-20xy' to each side of the equation.
20xy + -20xy + 15x2 = 20xy + -20xy + 15x2
Combine like terms: 20xy + -20xy = 0
0 + 15x2 = 20xy + -20xy + 15x2
15x2 = 20xy + -20xy + 15x2
Combine like terms: 20xy + -20xy = 0
15x2 = 0 + 15x2
15x2 = 15x2
Add '-15x2' to each side of the equation.
15x2 + -15x2 = 15x2 + -15x2
Combine like terms: 15x2 + -15x2 = 0
0 = 15x2 + -15x2
Combine like terms: 15x2 + -15x2 = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
Couldn't find a variable to solve for.
This equation is an identity, all real numbers are solutions.
