Answer 1

An equation with no solution occurs when both sides of the equation simplify to a contradictory statement.

Let's analyze the options:

1. **3x + 4 = 3x + 4**: This simplifies to 0 = 0, which has infinite solutions (any value for x works).

2. **3x + 4 = 3x + 3**: Subtracting 3x from both sides gives us 4 = 3. This is a contradiction, indicating that this equation has no solution.

3. **4x + 3 = 3x + 3**: Subtracting 3x from both sides gives us x + 3 = 3, which simplifies to x = 0, so this has one solution.

4. **3x + 4 = 4x + 3**: Rearranging this gives us 1 = x, so this also has one solution.

The equation with no solution is:

**3x + 4 = 3x + 3**
