Question

Kaya used these steps to solve the equation 7+2x=2(x−1)+4. Which choice describes the meaning of her result, 7=2?

A: No values of x make the equation true
B: The solution is x = 7 or 2
C: All values of x make the equation true
D: Kaya made a mistake because 7 is not equal to 2

Answer 1

Answer: (B) No values of x make the equation true


7 = 2 is *not* true
There are no solutions to the equations

In other words, you cannot replace x with a value and get a true answer

No values of x make this equation true
