What is the solution?
I don't understand what your asking me.
You said there is one solution to this problem. What is this solution? What is the answer to the problem?
I guess the answer is A.
Why do you guess it's A?
Because how can you have 5x-45 = 5x?
To determine the number of solutions for the equation 5(x-9)=5x, we can solve the equation step by step.
First, distribute the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses:
5x - 45 = 5x
Next, subtract 5x from both sides of the equation to eliminate the variables on one side:
-45 = 0
Now, observe the equation -45 = 0.
From this equation, we can see that the left-hand side (-45) is not equal to the right-hand side (0). This implies that there is no solution to the equation.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. No solution.
