To determine which of the equations has no solutions, we can simplify each one:

  1. \(6x + 3 = -6x + 3\)
    Combine like terms:
    \(6x + 6x = 3 - 3\)
    \(12x = 0\)
    \(x = 0\)
    (This has a solution: \(x = 0\))

  2. \(-6x + 4 = 6x + 3\)
    Combine like terms:
    \(-6x - 6x = 3 - 4\)
    \(-12x = -1\)
    \(x = \frac{1}{12}\)
    (This has a solution: \(x = \frac{1}{12}\))

  3. \(6x + 4 = 6x + 4\)
    This simplifies to \(0 = 0\), which is true for all values of \(x\).
    (This has infinitely many solutions.)

  4. \(-6x + 4 = -6x + 3\)
    Combine like terms:
    \(-6x + 6x = 3 - 4\)
    \(0 = -1\)
    (This is a contradiction and has no solutions.)

The equation that has no solutions is \(-6x + 4 = -6x + 3\).
