Amaya used these steps to solve the equation 8x+4=9+4(2x−1). Which choice describes the meaning of her result, 4=5? A. Amaya made a mistake because 4 is not equal to 5.
B. No values of x make the equation true.
C. All values of x make the equation true.
D. The solution is x=4 or 5.

She followed the right steps because the original equation does end up turning into 4 = 5, which is a false statement or a contradiction. There are no values of x we can plug in to make the equation true.

Choice B

answer: give more info

step-by-step explanation:

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
