Answer
This equation is true for every value of x except 0.
Work Step by Step
Because x is in the denominator, and the denominator cannot equal 0, x $\ne$ 0.
We must multiply both sides of the equation by x.
x + 3 = (1 + $\frac{3}{x}$) $\times$ x
Use the distributive property.
x + 3 = x + 3
Subtract x from both sides.
3 = 3
As we can see, this equation is true for every value of x, except the case when x = 0, because we found out at the beginning that x $\ne$ 0.
