Let’s check out your problem:

Matt solved the equation $3(z + 1) - 2 = 4z - z - 1$. Here are his last two steps:$\newline$$3z + 1 = 3z - 1$$\newline$$1 = -1$$\newline$Which statement is true about the equation?$\newline$(A) The solution is $z = -1$.$\newline$(B) There is no solution because $1 = -1$ is a false equation.$\newline$(C) There are infinitely many solutions because $1 = -1$ is a false equation.$\newline$(D) The solution is $(1, -1)$.
