Answer: C) No solutions

The left side 4+5m is the same as 5m+4

Simplifying the right hand side has 4m+1+m turn into 5m+1

The original equation is equivalent to 5m+4 = 5m+1

If we subtract 5m from both sides, the 5m terms cancel leaving us with 4 = 1, but that's not a true statement.

Regardless of whatever value you pick for m, the original equation will not be true.

Answer:

no solutions

Explanation:

4 + 5m = 4m + 1 + m combine like terms

4 + 5m = 5m + 1 subtract 5m from each side

4 = 1

4 can never equal 1, so no value of m would allow the equation to be correct
