Answer:

the equation where x = 12 will not be a solution is x + 4 = 10 (3rd option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

4 expressions with respect o x

To find:

the equation where x = 12 will not be a solution

To determine this, we will substitute x with 12 in each of the expressions. Then compare the right side with the left side of the equation

a) 5 + 4x = 53

when x = 12

5 + 4(12) = 53

5 + 48 = 53

53 = 53 (left side = right side)

b) 9x - 7 = 101

9(12) - 7 = 101

108 - 7 = 101

101 = 101 (left side = right side)

c) x + 4 = 10

12 + 4 = 10

16 = 10 (left side not equal to right side)

d) 96 ÷ x = 8

96 ÷ 12 = 8

8 = 8 (left side = right side)

The only option has a different answer on both left and right. As a result, the equation where x = 12 will not be a solution is x + 4 = 10 (3rd option)
