Question

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

the equation has one solution: x = -3
the equation has no solution
the equation has infinite solutions
the equation has one solution: x = 3
Answer
just choose one

To solve the equation, we first distribute the 3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
3x + 6 - 6 = 3x
Next, we simplify by combining like terms:
3x + 0 = 3x
Finally, we subtract 3x from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:
0 = 0
Since both sides of the equation are equal, this means that the equation has infinite solutions.

In that case, the equation has one solution: x = -3
