Question

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

How can her partial solution be interpreted?

• The equation has one solution: x=0
•The equation has one solution: x=8
•The equation has no solution.
•The equation has infinite solutions.

Answer 1

Answer:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The equation has no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

First you can 3x-4 = 3x+4

                         +4        +4

You would then get 3x = 3x + 8

Then you would do  3x = 3x + 8

                                 -3x   -3x

Which gets you 0=8 which you know is impossible because zero eqauls zero not 8

In conclusion, the answer is the equation has no solutions
