Which of the following best describes the equation below? 4(x + 9) + 5x = 9x - 36 a. exactly one real solution, x = 14 2/5 b. exactly one real solution, x = -1 c. no real solutions d. infinite real solutions

4(x + 9) + 5x = 9x - 36

=> 4x + 36 + 5x = 9x - 36

=> 9x + 36 = 9x - 36

=> 9x - 9x = -36 - 36

=> 0 = -72

You can see that the equation doesn't hold true.

So there is no solution for this equation.

Answer is C. no real solutions
