I think this one was missed out:
3x+4x = 5x
 
Rewrite as (3/5)x+(4/5)x = 1
x=2 is a solution. To check if any other solutions
 
Let f(x) = (3/5)x+(4/5)x -1
 
This is a monotonically decreasing function. It is easy to see that there are no solutions (-inf,2) and also (2, inf)
Hence x=2 is the unique soln.
