Which equation has infinite solutions?

AnnyKZ [126]

The equation that has an infinite number of solutions is $2x + 3 = \frac{1}{2}(4x + 2) + 2$

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

An equation that has an infinite number of solutions would be in the form

a = a

This means that both sides of the equation would be the same

Start by simplifying the options

3(x – 1) = x + 2(x + 1) + 1

3x - 3 = x + 3x + 2 + 1

3x - 3 = 4x + 3

Evaluate

x = 6 ----- one solution

x – 4(x + 1) = –3(x + 1) + 1

x - 4x - 4 = -3x - 3 + 1

-3x - 4 = -3x - 2

-4 = -2 ---- no solution

$2x + 3 = \frac{1}{2}(4x + 2) + 2$

2x + 3 = 2x + 1 + 2

2x + 3 = 2x + 3

Subtract 2x

3 = 3 ---- infinite solution

Hence, the equation that has an infinite number of solutions is $2x + 3 = \frac{1}{2}(4x + 2) + 2$
