1. Problem Description

We are asked to determine the solution set of the equation 23(1x)=4+(3x5)2 - 3(1-x) = 4 + (3x - 5). The possible answer choices are: one solution x=0x = 0, one solution x=1x = -1, all real numbers, or no solutions.

2. Solution Steps

First, we simplify the equation:
23(1x)=4+(3x5)2 - 3(1-x) = 4 + (3x - 5)
23+3x=4+3x52 - 3 + 3x = 4 + 3x - 5
1+3x=3x1-1 + 3x = 3x - 1
Now, we subtract 3x3x from both sides of the equation:
1+3x3x=3x13x-1 + 3x - 3x = 3x - 1 - 3x
1=1-1 = -1
Since 1=1-1 = -1 is always true regardless of the value of xx, the equation is an identity, and all real numbers are solutions.

3. Final Answer

All real numbers
