For the first equation, let's plug in x = 1:
5(1) + 5 = 5(1) + 4
5 + 5 = 5 + 4
10 = 9
Since the equation is false, this particular x value does not satisfy the equation, indicating that there is only one solution.
Now, for the second equation, let's plug in x = 2:
3(2) + 18 = 5(2) + 4
6 + 18 = 10 + 4
24 = 14
Again, the equation is false when x = 2, proving that there is only one solution.

When we put x = 1 in the first equation, we get 5(1) + 5 = 5(1) + 4 which simplifies to 5 + 5 = 5 + 4 and gives us 10 = 9, which is not true and means there's only one solution.
Moving on to the second equation, if we substitute x = 2, we get 3(2) + 18 = 5(2) + 4. Simplifying this gives us 6 + 18 = 10 + 4, leading to 24 = 14 which is also not true, showing there's only one solution for this equation too.
