3(4x - 3) - 7x = 5x - 9
First, expand your equation so it will be easier to simplify.
Second, multiply (3)(4x) to get 12x.
Third, multiply (3)(-3) to get -9.
Fourth, combine the like terms. (x and -9 alone).
Fifth, subtract (12x + -7x) to get 5x.
Sixth, change 5x + -9 into a subtraction.
Seventh, since both sides are equal, that means that the equation has infinite solutions.
Answer: B) infinite solutions
