Answer and Explanation

__________________________________________________________

The equation has infinitely many solutions.

( x = an infinite amount of numbers )

__________________________________________________________

We can prove this by using multiple numbers into the equation.

Let me show you what I mean.

__________________________________________________________


3\left(2x+1\right)=8x+2-2x+1

__________________________________________________________


3\left(2\cdot2+1\right) =
15 ( in this case, x = 2 )


8\cdot2+2-2\cdot2+1 =
15 ( so, x can equal 2, but I checked again if there are multiple answers. )

__________________________________________________________


3\left(2\cdot8+1\right) =
51 ( in this instance, x = 8 )


8\cdot8+2-2\cdot8+1 =
51 ( since x = 8 and can equal anything else, my conclusion is, that there are infinitely many solutions. )

__________________________________________________________

Hope this helps! <3
