Let's go through each equation step by step.
### Equation 1: \(3(x + 3) = 7 + 3x + 6 - x\)
1. **Expand both sides:**
\[
3(x + 3) = 3x + 9
\]
\[
7 + 3x + 6 - x = 3x + 13 - x = 2x + 13
\]
So we rewrite the equation:
\[
3x + 9 = 2x + 13
\]
2. **Get all \(x\) terms on one side and constant terms on the other:**
\[
3x - 2x = 13 - 9
\]
\[
x = 4
\]
**Conclusion:** This equation has **one solution**, \(x = 4\).
---
### Equation 2: \(8(x + 2) = 5x + 16 + 3x\)
1. **Expand both sides:**
\[
8(x + 2) = 8x + 16
\]
\[
5x + 16 + 3x = 8x + 16
\]
So we rewrite the equation:
\[
8x + 16 = 8x + 16
\]
2. **Simplifying:**
\[
8x + 16 - 8x - 16 = 0
\]
\[
0 = 0
\]
**Conclusion:** This equation has **infinitely many solutions** (the two sides are identical).
---
### Equation 3: \(6x + 2 - 4x = 2(x + 2)\)
1. **Combine like terms on the left:**
\[
6x - 4x + 2 = 2x + 2
\]
\[
2x + 2 = 2x + 2
\]
2. **Simplifying:**
\[
2x + 2 - 2x - 2 = 0
\]
\[
0 = 0
\]
**Conclusion:** This equation also has **infinitely many solutions** (the two sides are identical).
