It depends how you interpret "four times X + 9":
- If it's 4x + 36 = 4(x + 9), then 4x + 36 = 4x + 36 → 0 = 0, so every x is a solution (infinitely many, i.e. all real numbers).
- If it's 4x + 36 = 4x + 9 (i.e. "four times x" plus 9), then subtracting 4x gives 36 = 9, a contradiction, so there are no solutions.
- If it's 4x + 36 = 4(x + 9), then 4x + 36 = 4x + 36 → 0 = 0, so every x is a solution (infinitely many, i.e. all real numbers).
