Question
$$2k+4 = 2k+3$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 2k+4 &= 2k+3&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 2k } $ to the left side and $ \color{blue}{ 4 }$ to the right} \\[1 em]2k-2k &= 3-4&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]2k-2k &= -1&& \\[1 em]0 &= -1&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 0 = -1 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
