Examine the structure of this question. state if there are infinitely many solutions, no solution, or one solution. If there is one solution, solve the equation and state the solution. If there are infinitely many solutions or no solution, justify why using the structure of the equation.

1) Examining this rational equation. And then solving it.

3/4(x-1) -1/2 =2(1-3x)

3/4x-3/4-1/2=2-6x

2)Combining like terms, let's isolate the x terms on the left side

3/4x+6x -3/4-1/2=2-6x+6x

3)To add these fractions let's calculate the Least Common Multiple of the denominators:

27/4x -5/4=2+0

27/4x -5/4+5/4=2+5/4

27/4x=13/4 Multiplying both sides by four to eliminate the fraction.

27x=13 Dividing both sides by 13 to get the value of x

x =13/27

S={13/27}

2) For those 2 equations there was a single solution for x. We can say that there is one solution to these equations.
