Question
$$4x-1 = 4x+7$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 4x-1 &= 4x+7&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 4x } $ to the left side and $ \color{blue}{ -1 }$ to the right} \\[1 em]4x-4x &= 7+1&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]4x-4x &= 8&& \\[1 em]0 &= 8&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 0 = 8 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
