Answer:
infinitely many
Step-by-step explanation:
12x + 1 = 3(4x + 1) - 2
Distribute
12x + 1 = 12x + 3 - 2
Combine like terms
12x+1 = 12x +1
Subtract 12x from each side
1 =1
Since this is always true, we have infinite solutions
Answer:
[tex]\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{infinite \ solutions}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\sf 12x + 1 = 3(4x + 1) - 2[/tex]
Using distributive property.
[tex]\sf 12x + 1 = 12x+3 - 2[/tex]
[tex]\sf 12x + 1 = 12x+1[/tex]
Subtracting 1 from both sides.
[tex]\sf 12x=12x[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 12.
[tex]\sf x=x[/tex]
All real numbers are solutions.
There are infinite solutions.
