To determine which equation has infinitely many solutions, we can solve each equation and see which one leads to a true statement regardless of the variable value.

1. **Equation 1:** \( 3x = 2x + 1 \)

Subtract \( 2x \) from both sides:
\[
3x - 2x = 1 \implies x = 1
\]
(One solution, not infinitely many.)

2. **Equation 2:** \( 3 - 3x = -3(x - 1) \)

Expand the right side:
\[
3 - 3x = -3x + 3
\]
Simplifying both sides gives:
\[
3 - 3x = 3 - 3x
\]
This statement is always true for any \( x \), thus it has infinitely many solutions.

3. **Equation 3:** \( 4x + 1 = 4(x + 1) \)

Expand the right side:
\[
4x + 1 = 4x + 4
\]
Subtract \( 4x \) from both sides:
\[
1 = 4
\]
(This is a false statement, no solutions.)

4. **Equation 4:** \( 3x + 5 = 3x - 5 \)

Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides:
\[
5 = -5
\]
(This is a false statement, no solutions.)

The equation that has infinitely many solutions is:

**\( 3 - 3x = -3(x - 1) \)**

Thank you for the clarification! Given your explanation about the equation being solved correctly or incorrectly, here is how the equations relate to the concept of solutions:

1. **Equation 1:** \( 3x = 2x + 1 \)

Solving yields:
\[
x = 1
\]
This has **one solution**.

2. **Equation 2:** \( 3 - 3x = -3(x - 1) \)

This simplifies to:
\[
3 - 3x = -3x + 3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 3 - 3x = 3 - 3x
\]
This is true for all \( x \). Thus, it has **infinitely many solutions**.

3. **Equation 3:** \( 4x + 1 = 4(x + 1) \)

This simplifies to:
\[
4x + 1 = 4x + 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 1 = 4
\]
This is a false statement, leading to **no solutions**.

4. **Equation 4:** \( 3x + 5 = 3x - 5 \)

This simplifies to:
\[
5 = -5
\]
This is also a false statement, leading to **no solutions**.

Thus, based on the student's work:

- The equation that was solved **correctly** and has **infinitely many solutions** is:

**\( 3 - 3x = -3(x - 1) \)**.

Thank you for your clarification regarding the framework of your question. Let's classify each equation based on whether the student solved it **correctly** or **incorrectly**, and also identify how many solutions each equation actually has.

1. **Equation 1:** \( 3x = 2x + 1 \)

- Solving it correctly gives:
\[
3x - 2x = 1 \Rightarrow x = 1
\]
- **Solves correctly** showing **one solution**.

2. **Equation 2:** \( 3 - 3x = -3(x - 1) \)

- Simplifying gives:
\[
3 - 3x = -3x + 3
\]
- This simplifies to \( 3 = 3 \), which is always true for any \( x \).
- **Solves correctly** showing **infinitely many solutions** (this is usually considered as part of the set of "correct" types of solutions but not within the choices of none, one, two, or three).

3. **Equation 3:** \( 4x + 1 = 4(x + 1) \)

- This becomes:
\[
4x + 1 = 4x + 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 1 = 4
\]
- This is false.
- **Incorrect solution**, showing **no solution**.

4. **Equation 4:** \( 3x + 5 = 3x - 5 \)

- This becomes:
\[
5 = -5
\]
- This is also false.
- **Incorrect solution**, showing **no solution**.

### Summary of Each Equation's Result:

- **Equation 1:** **Correct; One solution**
- **Equation 2:** **Correct; Infinitely many solutions**
- **Equation 3:** **Incorrect; No solution**
- **Equation 4:** **Incorrect; No solution**

In the context of your format:

- If you are looking for which equations were solved correctly according to your grading criteria, that would pertain to Equations 1 and 2.

To match the criteria of the correct/incorrect solution types:

- **No solutions:** Equations 3 and 4
- **One solution:** Equation 1
- **Infinitely many solutions** (not typically categorized within "none, one, two, three"): Equation 2

If you need to determine which equations specifically fit within the disciplines of "none," "one," "two," "three" solution types while also noting correctness, please let me know!
