a. 0
b. 14
c. infinietly many solutions
d. no solution

Answer 1

`5+7x=11+7x \\ \\ 5 = 11 \ / \ cancel \ out \ 7x \ on \ each \ side \\ \\ no \ solution`

The final result is: D) no solution.

The reason why there is no solution is because 5 = 11 is not true.

Answer 2

Solution
5+7x=11+7x

1) Cancel 7x on both sides
5=11

2) Since 5=11 is false, there is no solution
No Solution

The answer is D. No solution
