Question

select the correct answer.
which equation has no solution?
a. $-4(y + 7) = 2(-2y - 9) - 10$
b. $-2(2y + 8) = 4y + 5 + y$
c. $4(y + 9) = -4(y - 9)$
d. $3y + 5 - 7y = 4(-y + 1) + 5$

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Option A

Expand both sides:
Left side: $-4(y + 7)=-4y - 28$
Right side: $2(-2y - 9)-10=-4y - 18 - 10=-4y - 28$
So, $-4y - 28=-4y - 28$, which is an identity (infinite solutions).

Step2: Analyze Option B

Expand left side: $-2(2y + 8)=-4y - 16$
Simplify right side: $4y + 5 + y = 5y + 5$
Set equation: $-4y - 16 = 5y + 5$
Add $4y$ to both sides: $-16 = 9y + 5$
Subtract $5$: $-21 = 9y$
$y=-\frac{21}{9}=-\frac{7}{3}$ (one solution).

Step3: Analyze Option C

Expand left side: $4(y + 9)=4y + 36$
Expand right side: $-4(y - 9)=-4y + 36$
Set equation: $4y + 36=-4y + 36$
Add $4y$: $8y + 36 = 36$
Subtract $36$: $8y = 0$
$y = 0$ (one solution).

Step4: Analyze Option D

Simplify left side: $3y + 5 - 7y=-4y + 5$
Expand right side: $4(-y + 1)+5=-4y + 4 + 5=-4y + 9$
Set equation: $-4y + 5=-4y + 9$
Subtract $-4y$: $5 = 9$ (false, no solution). Wait, no, wait, let's re - check Option D:

Wait, original Option D: $3y + 5 - 7y = 4(-y + 1)+5$

Left side: $3y-7y + 5=-4y + 5$

Right side: $-4y + 4 + 5=-4y + 9$

So, $-4y + 5=-4y + 9$

Subtract $-4y$ from both sides: $5 = 9$, which is a contradiction. So no solution. Wait, but earlier analysis of Option D was wrong. Wait, no, let's re - check each option again.

Wait, Option A:

$-4(y + 7)=2(-2y - 9)-10$

Left: $-4y-28$

Right: $-4y-18 - 10=-4y - 28$

So, $-4y - 28=-4y - 28$, which is always true (infinite solutions).

Option B:

$-2(2y + 8)=4y + 5 + y$

Left: $-4y-16$

Right: $5y + 5$

$-4y-16 = 5y + 5$

$-16 - 5=5y + 4y$

$-21 = 9y$

$y =-\frac{7}{3}$ (one solution)

Option C:

$4(y + 9)=-4(y - 9)$

$4y+36=-4y + 36$

$4y + 4y=36 - 36$

$8y = 0$

$y = 0$ (one solution)

Option D:

$3y + 5 - 7y=4(-y + 1)+5$

Left: $-4y + 5$

Right: $-4y + 4 + 5=-4y + 9$

So, $-4y + 5=-4y + 9$

Subtract $-4y$: $5 = 9$, which is false. So no solution. Wait, but the user's question is which equation has no solution. So the correct option is D? Wait, no, wait, let's re - check Option D again.

Wait, maybe I made a mistake in Option D. Wait, $3y + 5 - 7y=-4y + 5$; $4(-y + 1)+5=-4y + 4 + 5=-4y + 9$. So, $-4y + 5=-4y + 9$. Subtract $-4y$: $5 = 9$, which is a contradiction. So no solution. So Option D has no solution? Wait, but let's check Option A again. Option A: $-4(y + 7)=2(-2y - 9)-10$

Left: $-4y-28$

Right: $-4y-18 - 10=-4y - 28$

So, it's an identity, infinite solutions.

Option B: has one solution.

Option C: has one solution.

Option D: has no solution. Wait, but the initial analysis of Option D was correct. So the equation with no solution is Option D? Wait, no, wait, let's check the original problem again.

Wait, the options:

A. $-4(y + 7)=2(-2y - 9)-10$

B. $-2(2y + 8)=4y + 5 + y$

C. $4(y + 9)=-4(y - 9)$

D. $3y + 5 - 7y=4(-y + 1)+5$

Wait, let's re - solve Option D:

Left side: $3y - 7y+5=-4y + 5$

Right side: $-4y + 4 + 5=-4y + 9$

So, $-4y + 5=-4y + 9$

Subtract $-4y$ from both sides: $5 = 9$, which is false. So no solution.

But wait, maybe I made a mistake in Option A. Let's re - solve Option A:

$-4(y + 7)=2(-2y - 9)-10$

Left: $-4y-28$

Right: $-4y-18 - 10=-4y - 28$

So, $-4y - 28=-4y - 28$, which is an identity, so all real numbers are solutions (infinite solutions).

Option B:

$-2(2y + 8)=4y + 5 + y$

Left: $-4y-16$

Right: $5y + 5$

$-4y-16 = 5y + 5$

$-16 - 5=5y + 4y$

$-21 = 9y$

$y=-\frac{7}{3}$, so one solution.

Option C:

$4(y + 9)=-4(y - 9)$

$4y + 36=-4y + 36$

$4y+4y=36 - 36$

$8y = 0$

$y = 0$, one solution.

Option D:

$3y + 5 - 7y=4(-y + 1)+5$

Left: $-4y + 5$

Right: $-4y + 9$

So, $-4y + 5=-4y + 9$

$5 = 9$, which is false. So no solution. So the answer is D? Wait, but the user's question is which equation has no solution. So the correct option is D. Wait, but let's check again.

Wait, maybe I messed up Option D. Let's do it again:

Option D:

Left side: $3y + 5 - 7y=(3y - 7y)+5=-4y + 5$

Right side: $4(-y + 1)+5=4\times(-y)+4\times1 + 5=-4y + 4 + 5=-4y + 9$

Set equal: $-4y + 5=-4y + 9$

Add $4y$ to both sides: $5 = 9$, which is a false statement. So the equation has no solution.

So the equation with no solution is Option D. Wait, but the initial analysis of Option D was correct. So the answer is D.

Wait, but let's check Option A again. Option A:

$-4(y + 7)=2(-2y - 9)-10$

Left: $-4y-28$

Right: $-4y-18 - 10=-4y - 28$

So, $-4y - 28=-4y - 28$, which is an identity, so it has infinite solutions.

Option B: one solution.

Option C: one solution.

Option D: no solution.

So the answer is D.

Answer:

D. $3y + 5 - 7y = 4(-y + 1)+5$
