$$ \begin{aligned} 86\cdot53 &= 53\cdot86&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 4558 } $ to the left side} \\[1 em]4558-4558 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]0 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{blue}{ 0 = 0 } $ is TRUE for any value of $ x $, we conclude that the equation has infinitely many solutions.
