Answer:

B

Explanation:

You are trying to create an equation with no solution, meaning that the two sides of the equation are not equal.

Simplyify the left side of the equation.

5(4x + 7) - 2x

Distribute the 5.

20x + 35 - 2x

Combine like factors

18x + 35

The other side of the equation is

___x + 21.

The answer would be 18 because

18x + 35 ≠ 18x + 21

This is because the two sides are almost the same, but not exactly the same.

18x = 18x but 35 ≠ 21

Hope this makes sense.
