Question

How many solutions are there to the equation below?

16(x + 2) - 8 = 16x + 24







A.

Infinitely many








B.

1








C.

0

Answer 1

16(x + 2) - 8 = 16x + 24
16x+32-8=16x+24
x=0
the answer is B. 1

Answer 2

There are infinitely many solution.

Explanation:

Given : 16(x + 2) - 8 = 16x + 24.

To find : How many solutions are there to the equation below.

Solution : We have given

16(x + 2) - 8 = 16x + 24.

On distributing 16 over ( x +2) .

16 x + 32 - 8 = 16x + 24 .

16 x + 24 = 16x + 24.

We can see left hand side is equal to right hand sides .

Therefore, There are infinitely many solution.
