Question
$$(3x^2)^3 = 27x^6$$
Answer
The equation has an infinite number of solutions.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} (3x^2)^3 &= 27x^6&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]27x^6 &= 27x^6&& \text{move all terms to the left hand side } \\[1 em]27x^6-27x^6 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]27x^6-27x^6 &= 0&& \\[1 em]0 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{blue}{ 0 = 0 } $ is TRUE for any value of $ x $, we conclude that the equation has infinitely many solutions.
