Solution

The absolute value of a number is always non-negative, meaning it's always greater than or equal to zero. Therefore, an absolute value equation has no solution if the value on the other side of the equation is negative.

Looking at the options:

A. \abs8x71=6-\abs{8x-7}-1=6 can be rewritten as \abs8x7=7-\abs{8x-7}=7. The right side is positive, so this equation could have a solution.

B. \absx7=0\abs{x-7}=0 is equal to zero, so this equation has a solution (x=7).

C. \abs3x+5=8-\abs{3x+5}=-8 can be rewritten as \abs3x+5=8\abs{3x+5}=8. The right side is positive, so this equation could have a solution.

D. \abs96x+4=12\abs{9-6x}+4=12 can be rewritten as \abs96x=8\abs{9-6x}=8. The right side is positive, so this equation could have a solution.

Therefore, none of the given equations have no solution. There might be a mistake in the question or the provided options.
