Question
$$(\frac{4}{5})^2x(\frac{3}{4})^2 = 0$$
Answer
The equation has an infinite number of solutions.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} (\frac{4}{5})^2x(\frac{3}{4})^2 &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 20 }. \\[1 em]20(\frac{4}{5})^2x(\frac{3}{4})^2 &= 20\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]0 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{blue}{ 0 = 0 } $ is TRUE for any value of $ x $, we conclude that the equation has infinitely many solutions.
