Question

When the solution to the equation 5(x+4)=5x-3? A.x=20 c.there is no solution D.there are infinite solutions...

Update: the answer is there is no solution.

Answer 1

The sides are not equal

Therefore, there is NO SOLUTION.

Explanation:

Given the expression

`5\left(x+4\right)=5x-3`

Expanding

`5x+20=5x-3`

subtract 20 from both sides

`5x+20-20=5x-3-20`

`5x=5x-23`

subtract 5x from both sides

`5x-5x=5x-23-5x`

`0=-23`

The sides are not equal

Therefore, there is NO SOLUTION.
