1 answer

To determine which of the given equations has exactly one solution, we can analyze each one:

  1. \(3x + 4 = 4x + 3\)
    Rearranging gives:
    \(3x + 4 - 4x - 3 = 0\)
    \(-x + 1 = 0\)
    This has one solution: \(x = 1\).

  2. \(4x + 3 = 4x + 3\)
    This equation is always true for any value of \(x\). Thus, it has infinitely many solutions.

  3. \(3x + 4 = 3x + 4\)
    Like the previous one, this equation is always true for any \(x\) and has infinitely many solutions.

  4. \(3x + 4 = 3x + 3\)
    Rearranging gives:
    \(3x + 4 - 3x - 3 = 0\)
    \(1 = 0\)
    This is a contradiction, so it has no solutions.

Based on this analysis, the equation with exactly one solution is:

\(3x + 4 = 4x + 3\).
