It is an infinite solution. It is this because if you subtract 12x on both sides, you get 8=8, causing an infinite solution equation.

Answer:

Option 4th is correct

Infinitely many solution

Explanation:

Given the equation:


12x +8 = 12x +8

Subtraction property of equality states that you subtract the same number to both sides of an equation.

Subtract 12 x from both sides we have;


12x +8-12x = 12x +8-12x

Combine like terms;


8 = 8 True for all x.

⇒Infinitely many solutions can be found for the given equation.
