Answer 1

Answer: C on edg;)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The equation has no solution

Explanation:

The following information is missing:

Lily begins solving the equation 4(x – 1) – x = 3(x + 5) – 11.

Her work is shown below.

4(x – 1) – x = 3(x + 5) – 11

4x – 4 – x = 3x + 15 – 11

3x – 4 = 3x + 4

This means that the equation has no solution, because if we simplify her last term, we get:

-4 = 4

wich has no sense. In other words, there is no x value which satisfy:

3x – 4 = 3x + 4
