    Option C) There is exactly one solution to this equation, and the solution is 0 is correct

    That is the solution x=0

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given equation is - 4 (x+2) + x=3x-8-5x

    To find the solution to the given equation:

    First to solve the given equation

    -4 (x+2) + x=3x-8-5x

    -4x-8+x=3x-8-5x (by using the distributive property)

    -3x-8=-2x-8 (adding the like terms)

    -3x-8 - (-2x-8) = -2x-8 - (-2x-8)

    -3x-8+2x+8=-2x-8+2x+8 (adding the like terms)

    -x=0

    Therefore x=0 is the only solution to the given equation

    Option C) There is exactly one solution to this equation, and the solution is 0 is correct

    That is the solution x=0
