Amaya used these steps to solve the equation 8x + 4 = 9 + 4(2x – 1). Which choice describes the meaning of her result, 4 = 5?
Amaya made a mistake because 4 is not equal to 5.
No values of x make the equation true.
All values of x make the equation true.
The solution is x = 4 or 5.
Amaya made a mistake because 4 is not equal to 5. This indicates that there are no values of x that can satisfy the original equation, meaning the equation has no solution. When simplifying leads to a false statement like 4 = 5, it shows that the original equation is inconsistent.
