Responses

3x+4=4x+3
3 x plus 4 equals 4 x plus 3

3x+4=3x+4
3 x plus 4 equals 3 x plus 4

4x+3=3x+3
4 x plus 3 equals 3 x plus 3

3x+4=3x+3
3 x plus 4 equals 3 x plus 3

1 answer

To determine which of the provided equations has no solution, we can analyze each option:

  1. 3x + 4 = 4x + 3

    • Rearranging gives: 3x - 4x = 3 - 4 → -x = -1 → x = 1 (Has a solution)

  2. 3x + 4 = 3x + 4

    • This simplifies to 0 = 0, which is true for all x (Infinitely many solutions).

  3. 4x + 3 = 3x + 3

    • Rearranging gives: 4x - 3x = 3 - 3 → x = 0 (Has a solution)

  4. 3x + 4 = 3x + 3

    • Rearranging gives: 3x - 3x = 3 - 4 → 0 = -1 (This is a contradiction.)

The equation that has no solution is: 3x + 4 = 3x + 3.
