1 answer

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

  1. 3x + 4 = 3x + 3: Subtracting 3x from both sides gives 4 = 3, which is false. This equation has no solutions.

  2. 3x + 4 = 3x + 4: Both sides are identical, so this equation is always true. It has infinitely many solutions.

  3. 4x + 3 = 4x + 3: Similar to the previous equation, both sides are identical, so it is always true and has infinitely many solutions.

  4. 3x + 4 = 4x + 3: Rearranging gives 3x + 4 - 4x = 3 → -x + 4 = 3 → -x = -1 → x = 1. This equation has exactly one solution, x = 1.

The equation with exactly one solution is 3x + 4 = 4x + 3.
