Step 1
Consider the problem:
(2x+3)6=(4x+6)12...(1)
Step 2
An expression is a term or combination of many terms (constant or variables) without any equality sign.
and,
An equation is a combination of two expressions separated by an equal (=) sign, left side of this sign is L.H.S. and right side is R.H.S.
Thus, (1) is an equation.
Step 3
Solve for x:
(2x+3)6=(4x+6)12
=2(2x+3)12
=(2x+3)6
Here,
L.H.S.=R.H.S. =(2x+3)6
Therefore, any values of x satisfies the equation i.e. the given equation has infinitesimal solution.
