Did you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (arindameducationusc):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes there are infinitely many solutions for x

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

I agree with @d3v13 and @arindameducationusc there are infinitely many solutions because the solution we have obtained looks similar to 0 = 0 which is always true for this type of problem 36=36 and 36 is always equal to 36.
