D.) No solution

2x - 3 = 2x -5

That is because it they were to be equal to each other it would be either

2x - 3 = 2x - 3 or

2x - 5 = 2x -5

- 3 cannot be equal to -5

2x is in both the equation so they cannot be equal to each other

4 0

2x -2x - 3 = 2x - 2x - 5 <em>subtract 2x from both sides</em>

-3 = -5 FALSE

<h3>Answer: D) no solution</h3>

$\frac{84}{21}=4$

Therefore you need 4 batches of cupcakes if you want <u>every person to get one cupcake</u>.

This means you multiply the amount of salt <em>per batch</em> by the number of batches, to get the total amount of salt you need.
Each batch contains <em>1 teaspoon of salt</em> for 21 cupcakes. Multiply: $4\text{ batches of cupcakes}\times1\text{ teaspoon of salt}=4\text{ teaspoons salt}$ for the whole thing.
