No Solution

Explanation:

Breaking it down...

4(2x+4)=42x+44=8x+16.

4(4x+5)=44x+45=16x+20

8x+16+16x+20+5=24x+42

Combining Like Terms, 24x+41=24x+42

Subtracting 41 from both sides,

24x=24x+1

Subtracting 24x from Both Sides,

0=0+1, or 0=1.

This is NOT Valid, so there is no Solution.

Awesome!
