Can you explain why the equation 4x plus 3 equals 4x plus 1 has no solution?

The trivial answer is: Because there is no possible number that 'x' can be
and make the equation a true statement.
If the equation is true ... if the left side is actually equal to the right side ...
then it must still be true after we subtract the same thing from both sides.
Let us subtract 4x from both sides. Then we have 3 = 1 .
That statement is clearly not true. So there's no way for the original equation
to be true, regardless of what number you tell 'x' to be.
