I need help with a math problem (I'm supposed to make it), I need to make an equation that has infinite solutions

for example, an equation that would look like this:
3(x-1)=4(x-6)-x

that kind of style

x=x is the simplest...

Make up any expression, simplify it a little bit, and set them equal.

First, I'm going to give you a reference that explains in simple terms how an equation with one variable can have an infinite number of solutions. The page isn't very long and the infinite number of solutions part is in the middle, so try to read it all because it helps make common sense of this.

Next, take a look at Example 10 on this link. It gives you a sample equation, then works it out for you--same principle.

All you have to do is take anything you know that will always be true, no matter what value x is.

Examples include 0x=0, 1x=x, etc.

R is real numbers, so
R/2=infinity
