Question

12x +1 = 3(4х + 1) – 2
zero
one
two
infinitely many

Answer 1

Infinite solutions

Explanation:

Step 1: Distribue

12x + 1 = 12x + 3 - 2

Step 2: Combine like terms

12x + 1 = 12x + 1

If the 2 lines are the same, which they are, they are the same lines. That means there are an infinite amount of solutions. If they had the same slope but different y-intercepts, there would be no solutions because the lines are parallel. Any other pair of equations would have 1 solution.
