Answer:

No solutions

Explanation.

Rewrite. 3 x − 7 = 0 + 0 + 3 ( x + 1 )

Simplify by adding zeros. 3 x − 7 = 3 ( x + 1 )

Apply the distributive property. 3 x − 7 = 3 x + 3 ⋅ 1

Multiply 3 by 1 . 3 x − 7 = 3 x + 3

Subtract 3 x 3x from both sides of the equation. 3 x − 7 − 3 x = 3

Subtract 3 x 3x from 3 x 3x. 0 − 7 = 3 0-7=3

Subtract 7 7 from 0 0. − 7 = 3

Since − 7 ≠ 3 , there are no solutions.
