color(red)(x+3=0) is an equation
It is not a function.
The terms "domain" and "range" only apply to functions.

Explanation:

Possibility 1: You really wanted the solution
color(white)("XXX")x=-3

Possibility 2: You wanted the domain and range of f(x)=x+3
color(white)("XXX")Domain: x in RR (or CC)color(white)("xxxx)all possible values of x are valid
color(white)("XXX")Range: f(x) in RR (or CC)color(white)("xxx")any value can be generated using a suitable value for x

Possibility 3: This was a trick question if see if you knew that the terms do not apply to equations

domain: (-3)
range: (-oo,oo)

Explanation:

enter image source here

domain: the range of values x could take

x+3=0
x=0-3 = -3

here, x can only take one value, so the domain is (-3)

range: the range of values y could take:

since the only condition for the line is that x=0, y could take any real value,
so the range is (-oo,oo)
