Question

tell whether the equation has one solution, no solution, or an infinite number of solutions. 8 + 2(x - 6)=-2 + 2x - 2

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the left - hand side

$8 + 2(x - 6)=8+2x-12=2x - 4$

Step2: Simplify the right - hand side

$-2 + 2x-2=2x-4$

Step3: Analyze the equation

Since the left - hand side $2x - 4$ is equal to the right - hand side $2x - 4$ for all values of $x$, the equation has an infinite number of solutions.

Answer:

An infinite number of solutions
