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.
