Answer: B.) all real numbers


Step-by-step explanation:Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6(a+3)=18+6a

(6)(a)+(6)(3)=18+6a(Distribute)

6a+18=18+6a

6a+18=6a+18

Step 2: Subtract 6a from both sides.

6a+18−6a=6a+18−6a

18=18

Step 3: Subtract 18 from both sides.

18−18=18−18

0=0

6(a+3)=18+6a

6a+18=18+6a

6a-6a and 18-18 will cancel each other out.

The answer is A., because there is no solution.
