Solve:

27x + 14 = 3(9x - 7)
Responses
A x = 0x = 0
B x = −35x = −35
C no solutionno solution
D x = 0 or x = −35x = 0 or x = −35
E infinitely many solutions

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 27x + 14 = 3(9x - 7) \), we first expand the right side:

\[
3(9x - 7) = 27x - 21
\]

Now, we can rewrite the equation:

\[
27x + 14 = 27x - 21
\]

Next, we can subtract \( 27x \) from both sides:

\[
14 = -21
\]

This statement is false, which indicates that there are no values of \( x \) that satisfy the equation.

Thus, the correct response is:

**C. no solution**
