Answer:

Because 3 k = 3k is satisfied by every possible value of k.

Explanation:

An equation has an infinite number of solutions if every value of the variables involved satisfies the equality.

In our case, we have the equation


3k=3k

Is there any value of k that does not satisfy the equation above? No.

Therefore, we can say the equation above has an infinite number of solutions.

Hence, when Jada arrived at this equation, she realized that this has an infinite number of solutions.
