Concepts

A student solves a linear equation correctly and the equation
simplifies to $0 = 0$ . What does this tell you about the original
equation's solutions?

Every value of $x$ is a solution (infinitely many solutions).

The only solution is $x = 0$ .

There is no solution.

The student must have made a mistake, because $0 = 0$ is not a real answer.
