Question

How do I find out if this is an infinite solution
4(x-2) + 7 = 4x - 1

Answer 1

x = all real numbers, infinite solutions

Explanation:

4(x-2) + 7 = 4x - 1

Distribute

4x -8+7 = 4x-1

Combine like terms

4x -1 = 4x-1

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-1 -4x = 4x-1-4x

-1 = -1

This is always true so there are infinite solutions for x
