Question

Amaya used these steps to solve the equation 8x+4=9+4(2x−1). Which choice describes the meaning of her result, 4=5?

Answer 1

Answer:

No values of x make the equation true.

Answer 2

Answer:

No value of x makes the equation true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the choices which are missing in the question:

a) Amaya made a mistake because 4 is not equal to 5

b) No value of x make the equation true.

c) All value of x make the equation true.

d) The solution is x= 4 or 5

Given equation is $8x+4=9+4(2x-1)$

Now, solving the equation:

$8x+4=9+4(2x-1)$

distributing 4 with both 2x and -1

⇒$8x+4= 9+8x-4$

⇒$8x+4= 5+8x$

Subtracting both side by 8x

∴ 4=5

The result indicate that equation has the same result and x has no value.
