Answer: No solutions

The attached graph of the two expressions shows two parallel lines. In order to have a solution, the lines must intersect. Parallel lines never do.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you distribute 3(x - 1) you get

3x - 3 = 3x + 5

Attempting to solve this you get

3x -3x = 5 + 3
