Question

−3x − 3= −3(x + 1)
SOLVE FOR X

Answer 1

Answer: Infinite Solutions

Explanation:

Our task is to solve for x in the equation:

`\sf{-3x-3=-3(x+1)}`

Use the distributive property on the right side:

`\sf{-3x-3=-3x-3}`

Add 3 to both sides:

`\sf{-3x=-3x+0}`

`\sf{-3x=-3x}`

We can see that since the sides are identical, the equation has infinite solutions; it's true for any value of x.

Answer 2

x = infinite

Explanation:

`-3x-3=-3(x+1)`

`-3x-3=-3x-3`

Any value of x makes the equation true
