1 answer

Let's analyze the steps provided for solving the equation \(3x - 9x + 1 = 2(-3x + 1) - 1\).

The final result of the equation after simplification is:

\[ -6x + 1 = -6x + 1 \]

Since both sides of the equation are identical, this indicates that the equation is true for all values of \(x\).

Thus, the correct response is:

There are infinitely many solutions to the equation.
