How many solutions exist for the given equation?

12*+1=3 (4*+1) - 2

infinite solutions

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

12x+1-12x = 12x+1-12x

1 = 1

Since this always true, there are infinite solutions

infinite Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

12x+1 = 12x+3-2

12+1 = 12x+1

The equation is same on both sides, so x can be anything.
