Transcript text: equation has infinitely
\[
\frac{4 x+3}{3}=4 x+5
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To determine if the given equation has infinitely many solutions, we need to simplify and solve the equation. If the equation simplifies to a true statement (like \(0 = 0\)), it has infinitely many solutions. Otherwise, it has a unique solution or no solution.
Step 1: Simplify the Equation
Given the equation:
\[
\frac{4x + 3}{3} = 4x + 5
\]
we first simplify it by multiplying both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
\[
4x + 3 = 3(4x + 5)
\]
Step 2: Expand and Combine Like Terms
Next, we expand the right-hand side:
\[
4x + 3 = 12x + 15
\]
Then, we move all terms involving \(x\) to one side and constant terms to the other side:
\[
4x - 12x = 15 - 3
\]
\[
-8x = 12
\]
Step 3: Solve for \(x\)
We solve for \(x\) by dividing both sides by -8:
\[
x = \frac{12}{-8} = -\frac{3}{2}
\]
