Answer:

Neither of them are right

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's actually solve this equation:

8 ( x - 5 ) = 8x + 40

Distribute on the left:

8 ( x - 5 )

( 8 x X ) + ( 8 x ( -5 ) )

8x - 40

8x - 40 = 8x + 40

Add 40 to each side:

8x = 8x + 80

Subtract 8x from both sides:

0 = 80

0 ≠ 80

There are no solutions to the equation
