Adam solved this equation and identified the number of solutions.

24x – 22 = 4(6x – 1)

24x – 22 = 24x – 4

24x = 24x + 18

0 = 18

The equation has infinitely many solutions
what is his mistake

Answer:

The mistake is he said"The equation has infinitely many solutions."

But based on what he was solving for, this equation does not have any solutions, so that's his mistake.
