    If a = - 2, then there is no solution.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    4x-2=-2 (ax+3)

    2) a=0 one solution

    4x - 2 = - 2 (0x + 3)

    4x - 2 = - 6

    4x = - 4

    x = - 1

    1) a = 2 one solution

    4x-2=-2 (2x+3)

    4x - 2 = - 4x - 6

    8x = - 4

    x = - 1/2

    3) a = - 2 no solution

    4x-2=-2 (-2x+3)

    4x - 2 = 4x - 6

    4x-4x = - 6+2

    0 = - 4, wrong, so no solution
