The equation has an infinite number of solutions

Here, we want to get the number of solutions the given equation have

We get this by expanding the expression on the right hand side of the equation

We have this as;


\begin{gathered} 3x-7\text{ = 3x-9+2} \\ 3x-7\text{ = 3x-7} \end{gathered}

Since what we have on the left hand side of the equation equals what we have on the right hand side, this means that we have an infinite number of x values that could work for the equation.
