Question

6x + 8 = 2(3x + 4)
what is the step by step answer to this question

Answer 1

The given expression has INFINITE NUMBER OF SOLUTIONS.

Explanation:

Here, the given expression is:

6 x + 8 = 2(3 x + 4)

Now, by DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:

A (B+ C) =AB + AC

Now, simplifying the given expression, we get

6 x + 8 = 2(3 x + 4) ⇒ 6 x + 8 = 2(3 x) + 2( 4)

or, 6x + 8 = 6x + 8

or 6x - 6x = 8 - 8

⇒ 0 = 0

Hence the given expression has INFINITE NUMBER OF SOLUTIONS.
