Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:NO SOLUTIONStep-by-step explanation:To solve this problem, first you have to isolate it on one side of the equation. First, expand.[tex]\displaystyle 4(x-1)=4x-4[/tex][tex]\displaystyle 4x-4=4x+5[/tex]Next, add 4 from both sides.[tex]\displaystyle 4x-4+4=4x+5+4[/tex]Solve.[tex]\displaystyle 4+5=9[/tex][tex]\displaystyle 4x=4x+9[/tex]Subtract 4x from both sides.[tex]\displaystyle 4x-4x=4x+9-4x[/tex]Solve.[tex]\displaystyle 0=9[/tex]Therefore, there are no solution.
