Question
$$4x+7 = 7(x+1)-3x$$
Answer
The equation has an infinite number of solutions.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 4x+7 &= 7(x+1)-3x&& \text{simplify right side} \\[1 em]4x+7 &= 7x+7-3x&& \\[1 em]4x+7 &= 4x+7&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 4x } $ to the left side and $ \color{blue}{ 7 }$ to the right} \\[1 em]4x-4x &= 7-7&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]4x-4x &= 0&& \\[1 em]0 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{blue}{ 0 = 0 } $ is TRUE for any value of $ x $, we conclude that the equation has infinitely many solutions.
