Choice B is correct. A linear equation in one variable has no solution if and only if the equation is false; that is, when there is no value of x that produces a truestatement. It’s given that in the equation -3x +21px = 84, p is a constant and the equation has no solution for x. Therefore, the value of the constant p is one that results in a false equation. Factoring out the common factor of -3x on the left-hand side of the given equation yields -3x(1-7p)= 84. Dividing both sides of this equation by -3 yields x(1-7p)=-28. Dividing both sides of this equation by (1-7p) yields x = −281−7p. This equation is false if and only if 1-7p = 0. Adding 7p to both sides of 1-7p = 0 yields 1= 7p. Dividing both sides of this equation by 7 yields17= p. It follows that the equation x = −281−7p is false if and only if p = 17.Therefore, the given equation has no solution if and only if the value of p is 17.
