Try, 3x + 5 = 3x + 5
As you can see the equation is equal to itself and if you subtract 3x from both sides you will get 5 = 5. The idea behind infinite solutions is that no matter what number you use for the variable, in this case x, the answer will always be true.
Let x = -4
So, 3x + 5 = 3x + 5
3(-4) + 5 = 3(-4) +5
-7 = -7
