Answer:

The solutions are infinite.

Explanation:

3x + 3 = 3 + 3x

3x + 3 - (3x + 3 ) = 3 + 3x - (3x + 3)

0 = 0

When dealing with equations, we must find values of the variable who mak the expression become an identity.

The expression is an identity no matter what the value of x is, so the equation is infinite and has many solutions. For example x = 0 will produce the expression 3 = 3 which is an identity.
