Let's analyze the given equations to identify which one has infinitely many solutions.
-
4x + 1 = 4(x + 1)
Simplifying this:
Subtracting from both sides:
This is a contradiction; hence, no solution. -
3x + 5 = 3x − 5
Simplifying this:
This is also a contradiction; hence, no solution. -
3x = 2x + 1
Simplifying this:
This gives us a single solution. -
3 − 3x = −3(x − 1)
Simplifying this:
Rearranging gives us:
This is always true for any value of ; hence, it has infinitely many solutions.
Based on the analysis above, the equation that has infinitely many solutions is:
3 − 3x = −3(x − 1).
Now, regarding Question 5 about the student's work:
The correct interpretation is that the equation
Therefore, the equation solved correctly would show that it has infinitely many solution(s).
