Solve for x to determine if the equation has one, none, or infinite solutions. 3(x+2)−6=3x

A. the equation has one solution: x = 3
B. the equation has one solution: x = -3
C. the equation has no solution
D. the equation has infinite solutions

1 answer

Let's solve the equation step by step:

3(x+2) - 6 = 3x

First, distribute the 3 to the terms inside the parentheses:

3x + 6 - 6 = 3x

Combine like terms:

3x + 0 = 3x

Simplify further:

3x = 3x

Notice that both sides of the equation are equal, meaning that any value of x will satisfy the equation. Therefore, the equation has infinite solutions.

Answer: D. the equation has infinite solutions
