Kaya used these steps to solve the equation 7 + 2x = 2(x – 1) + 4. Which choice describes the meaning of her result, 7 = 2?
No values of x make the equation true.
All values of x make the equation true.
The solution is x = 7 or 2.
Kaya made a mistake because 7 is not equal to 2.

When the result of simplifying the equation leads to a statement like 7 = 2, it indicates that there are no values of x that satisfy the original equation. This means the original equation has no solution. It’s important to double-check calculations to understand this discrepancy!
