Solve for x: 5 (x+7) = 5x + 40

No solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 (x+7) = 5x + 40

5x + 35 - 35 = 5x + 40 - 35

5x - 5x = 5x - 5x + 5

0 = 5 False. so no solution.

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

5 (x+7) = 5x + 40

5x+35 = 5x+40

no solution: no equality

lets go farther to even better show it, though we can see that there is none

5x=5x+5: no equality

no solution

0=5

since x cancels out, there is no solution
