Answer:

D.
4v + 1 = 3v + 5

Explanation:

Equation A: v = 4v + 5

Equation B: v = 3v + 5

---------------------------------

4v + 1 = 3v + 5

-3v

---------------------------------

v + 1 = 5

-1 -1

---------------------------------

v = 4

---------------------------------

v = 4(4) + 1 = 17

v = 3(4) + 5 = 17

Thus, your answer is D. 4v + 1 = 3v + 5.
