To determine which equation has no solution, we can solve each equation step-by-step to see if we arrive at a contradiction.
Let's evaluate each equation:
**Option A:**
\[
15z + 12 = 5x + 4
\]
Rearranging, we get:
\[
15z - 5x = -8
\]
This can potentially have many solutions depending on the values of \(z\) and \(x\).
---
**Option B:**
\[
8 - 4z = 10 - 4 + 2x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
8 - 4z = 6 + 2x
\]
Rearranging gives:
\[
-4z - 2x = -2
\]
Which can again have solutions depending on \(z\) and \(x\).
---
**Option C:**
\[
43 - 20 = 2x - 10
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
23 = 2x - 10
\]
Adding 10 to both sides:
\[
33 = 2x
\]
Dividing by 2, we get:
\[
x = 16.5
\]
This has one solution.
---
**Option D:**
\[
15 + 5 = 5x + 6
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
20 = 5x + 6
\]
Rearranging gives:
\[
14 = 5x
\]
Dividing by 5, we get:
\[
x = \frac{14}{5}
\]
This also has a solution.
---
Next, let's look for contradictions or cases where the equations lead to impossible statements.
In options A, B, C, and D, we do not find any of them leading directly to a contradiction but we still need to make sure about each:
1. **Option A** and **Option B:** Both have the form where they relate variables and could have solutions.
2. **Option C** gives a specific solution.
3. **Option D** also leads to a specific solution.
Upon re-evaluation, it seems all provided equations could have solutions. However, if any of these could be contrived to show no solutions through contradictory values, then there may be an oversight.
### Conclusion:
If looking specifically for contradictions in terms of values such as equal values leading to false statements such as \(z = z + c\) where \(c \neq 0\), none are immediately visible.
Could you re-check if there may be more specific errors in how the original equations were constructed or their forms? Currently from the analysis, none provide a definitive fail case without further context on variable constraints.
