Answer (67)
First, distribute the right side.
8*(x + 5) = 8x + 40
Then, we write the whole equation:
8x + 47 = 8x + 40
Looking at it, we can subtract 8x from both sides, so that we're left with:
47 = 40
However, we obviously know that 47 is NOT equal to 40, so there is no solution for this equation.
