Lily begins solving the equation 4(x – 1) – x = 3(x + 5) – 11. Her work is shown below.4(x – 1) – x = 3(x + 5) – 11 4x – 4 – x = 3x + 15 – 113x – 4 = 3x + 4

Lily’s simplified equation is 3x − 4 = 3x + 4. Subtracting 3x from both sides gives −4 = 4, which is impossible, so there is no value of x that satisfies the equation. The correct choice is “The equation has no solution.”
