Answer:

Infinite amount of solutions

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

4(3x + 3) = 15x + 7 - 3x + 5

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Distribute 4: 12x + 12 = 15x + 7 - 3x + 5
  2. Combine like terms: 12x + 12 = 12x + 12
  3. Subtract 12 on both sides: 12x = 12x
  4. Divide both sides by 12: x = x

Here, we can see that x would be infinite amount of solutions. We can plug in any number x and it would render the equation true.
