Question

1. how many solutions does the equation -2(x + 4) = -2(x + 4) - 6 have? 8.ar.2.1

Explanation:

Step1: Expand both sides

Expand -2(x + 4) on both sides of the equation. The left - hand side is -2x-8, and the right - hand side is -2x - 8-6=-2x - 14.
-2(x + 4)=-2x-8, -2(x + 4)-6=-2x-8 - 6=-2x-14

Step2: Analyze the resulting equation

The resulting equation is -2x-8=-2x - 14. Add 2x to both sides.
-2x + 2x-8=-2x+2x - 14, which simplifies to -8=-14.
This is a false statement.

Answer:

0 (no solutions)
