Answer: You are correct. The answer is choice A. Nice work.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming Ramon did his steps correctly, ending up with 53 = 477 means that the original equation doesn't have any solutions.
Consider an example such as x+5 = x+6
We can subtract x from both sides to end up with 5 = 6, but that's a false statement. So no value of x can be plugged into x+5 = x+6 to lead to a solution. This idea applies to Ramon's original equation. The equation 53 = 477 is a contradiction (the left side contradicts the right side since the numbers don't match).
