Question

How many solutions are there to the equation below?

4x-9(x+ 1) = 20- 5x
OA. 1
O B. 0
OC. Infinitely many

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

heres why:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x−9(x+1)=20−5x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x−9(x+1)=20−5x

4x+(−9)(x)+(−9)(1)=20+−5x(Distribute)

4x+−9x+−9=20+−5x

(4x+−9x)+(−9)=−5x+20(Combine Like Terms)

−5x+−9=−5x+20

−5x−9=−5x+20

Step 2: Add 5x to both sides.

−5x−9+5x=−5x+20+5x

−9=20

Step 3: Add 9 to both sides.

−9+9=20+9

0=29

so there are no solution
