Question

Solve the equation please show the process to solve
5x + 5 = 5x + 4

How many solutions does this equation have circle below
none one infinite

Answer 1

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**.
