To solve the equation \( 5x + 5 = 5x + 4 \), let's first simplify both sides.

  1. Start with the original equation: \[ 5x + 5 = 5x + 4 \]

  2. Subtract \( 5x \) from both sides: \[ 5 = 4 \]

  3. The equation \( 5 = 4 \) is not true; it is a contradiction.

Since we reached a contradiction, this means that there are no values of \( x \) that will satisfy the equation.

Thus, the equation has no solutions.

So, you would circle none.
