Which equation has no solution?

6x - 9 = 9x- 6
6 - (2x + 3) = -4 (x + 1) + 7
6x + 8 = 3 (2x + 4)

Answer: Option C. 6x+8=3(2x+4)

Explanation:

Solution = S

No Solution = NS

( S ) A. 6x - 9 = 9x - 6

6x - 9 + 9 = 9x - 6 + 9

6x = 9x + 3

6x - 9x = 9x + 3 - 9x

-3x = 3

-3x/-3 = 3/-3

x = -1

( S ) B. 6 - (2x+3) = -4 (x + 1 ) + 7

6 - (2x+3)

6 - 2x - 3

-2x + 3

-2x + 3 = -4x + 3

-2x + 3 - 3 = -4x + 3 - 3

-2x = -4x

-2x + 4x = -4x +4x

2x = 0

2x/2 = 0/2

x = 0

( NS ) C. 6x + 8 = 3 (2x +4)

6x + 8 = 6x + 12

6x + 8 - 8 = 6x + 12 - 8

6x = 6x + 4

6x - 6x = 6x + 4 - 6x

0 = 4

The sides aren't equal; there is no solution

( S ) D. -3 + 4x = 13

-3 + 4x + 3 = 13 + 3

4x = 16

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 4
