To determine which equation has the solution x = 4, we'll substitute x = 4 into each equation and see which one results in a true statement.

Option A: 2x – 1 = 9x + 8

2 × 4 – 1 = 9 × 4 + 8

8 – 1 = 36 + 8

7 ≠ 44

This equation is not true when x = 4.

Option B: 5x + 8 = 3x + 2

5 × 4 + 8 = 3 × 4 + 2

20 + 8 = 12 + 2

28 ≠ 14

This equation is not true w...
