Question

How many solutions are there on the equation below 16(x+2)-8=16x+24

Answer 1

Infinitely many solutions

Explanation:

First,

`16(x+2)=16\cdot x+16\cdot 2=16x+32.`

Then

`16(x+2)-8=16x+32-8=16x+24.`

The equation becomes

`16x+24=16x+24.`

This equation is always true equality (because left and right parts are the same for all possible values of x). This means that equation has infinitely many solutions.
