To solve the equation \( 4x + 18 = 4x + 5 \), we can start by subtracting \( 4x \) from both sides:
\[
4x + 18 - 4x = 4x + 5 - 4x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
18 = 5
\]
This statement is false, as 18 does not equal 5. Because the equation leads to a contradiction, there are no solutions for \( x \).
Thus, the equation has **no solutions**.
\[
4x + 18 - 4x = 4x + 5 - 4x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
18 = 5
\]
This statement is false, as 18 does not equal 5. Because the equation leads to a contradiction, there are no solutions for \( x \).
