The equation 3/4(x) +1 =3/4(x) -7 is unsolvable and comes out as 1=-7, right?

Yes, that is right.

\(\frac{3}{4} (x)+1=\frac{3}{4}(x)-7 \)

\(\frac{3x}{4}+1=\frac{3x}{4}-7\)

\((\frac{3x}{4}-\frac{3x}{4})+1=(\frac{3x}{4}-\frac{3x}{4})-7\)

\(1=-7\)

Well, it's not unsolveable, the solution is just no solution.

That is a very good point. The equation is not "unsolvable" (I just did it) but there is \(\boxed{\text{No Solution}}\)

I came here excited to find a unsolvable equation, but noooOOOOOooo, it's just a no solution equation. :(
