While solving an equation, if the variable term becomes zero, and the equation makes a true statement, the the solution is no solutions or infinitely many solutions.

║ one variable has infinitely many solutions or no solution ║

check for no solution.:

2x - 3 = 2x

2(0) -3 = 2(0)

-3 = 0

→ Therefore, has no solution.

check for infinitely many solutions:

2x - 3 = 2x -3

2(0) - 3 = 2(0)-4

-3 = -3

→ Therefore has infinitely many solutions
