Simplify brackets

5y+2+14x=5y+2+14x5y+2+14x=5y+2+14x
Since both sides equal, there are infinitely many solutions
Infinitely Many Solutions

SO BASICALLY THAT MEANS IT EQUALS TO 0.

Simplifying (5y + 2) + 14x = 5y + (2 + 14x) Reorder the terms: (2 + 5y) + 14x = 5y + (2 + 14x) Remove parenthesis around (2 + 5y) 2 + 5y + 14x = 5y + (2 + 14x) Reorder the terms: 2 + 14x + 5y = 5y + (2 + 14x) Remove parenthesis around (2 + 14x) 2 + 14x + 5y = 5y + 2 + 14x Reorder the terms: 2 + 14x + 5y = 2 + 14x + 5y Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + 14x + -2 + 5y = 2 + 14x + -2 + 5y Reorder the terms: 2 + -2 + 14x + 5y = 2 + 14x + -2 + 5y Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + 14x + 5y = 2 + 14x + -2 + 5y 14x + 5y = 2 + 14x + -2 + 5y Reorder the terms: 14x + 5y = 2 + -2 + 14x + 5y Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 14x + 5y = 0 + 14x + 5y 14x + 5y = 14x + 5y Add '-14x' to each side of the equation. 14x + -14x + 5y = 14x + -14x + 5y Combine like terms: 14x + -14x = 0 0 + 5y = 14x + -14x + 5y 5y = 14x + -14x + 5y Combine like terms: 14x + -14x = 0 5y = 0 + 5y 5y = 5y Add '-5y' to each side of the equation. 5y + -5y = 5y + -5y Combine like terms: 5y + -5y = 0 0 = 5y + -5y Combine like terms: 5y + -5y = 0 0 = 0 Solving 0 = 0 Couldn't find a variable to solve for.
