Answer 1

To solve the equation, we can start by combining like terms on both sides:

3x - 2x + 4 = 5x - 4x - 8

Simplifying this expression, we get:

x + 4 = x - 8

Next, we can isolate the variable on one side of the equation by subtracting x from both sides:

4 = -8

Since 4 is not equal to -8, this equation has no solution.

Therefore, the correct response is:

D) no solution
