To determine which equation has no solution, we can analyze each option:

  1. 3x + 4 = 3x + 3

    • If we subtract \(3x\) from both sides, we get \(4 = 3\), which is a contradiction. Therefore, this equation has no solution.
  2. 3x + 4 = 3x + 4

    • This is true for all values of \(x\). Therefore, it has an infinite number of solutions.
  3. 4x + 3 = 3x + 3

    • If we subtract \(3x\) from both sides, we get \(x + 3 = 3\). Solving this gives \(x = 0\), so there is one solution.
  4. 3x + 4 = 4x + 3

    • If we rearrange this, subtract \(3x\) from both sides to get \(4 = x + 3\), which simplifies to \(x = 1\). So there is one solution here as well.

Thus, the equation with no solution is:

3x + 4 = 3x + 3.
