Answer: If you substitute the number 2 for x in the problem, you’ll make it true.

6x + 8x = 10x

62 + 82 = 102

36 + 64 = 100

100 = 100

Answer:

There is no number when substituted for x that will make the statement true.

Explanation:

First you would simplify the left side:

6x + 8x= 14x

14x=10x

This statement isnt true no matter what you plug in the sides will never be equal
