Answer:

X has an infinite solution

Explanation:

If we have an equation and we are solving for a variable, x, and our last line is 5 = 5, then we can draw the conclusion that all the x variables in the equation canceled out. This means that no matter what number is put in for x does not affect the outcome. For this reason there are an infinite number of solutions.
