Final answer:

The equation 8x + 11 = 8x has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation 8x + 11 = 8x, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. However, when we subtract 8x from both sides, the variable cancels out and we are left with 11 = 0. This is a contradiction, as 11 cannot be equal to 0. Therefore, the equation has no solution, and the correct answer is option c) 0.
