Answer:

infinite number of solutions

Explanation:

8 + 2(x - 6) = - 2 + 2x - 2 ← distribute parenthesis on left side and simplify

8 + 2x - 12 = 2x - 4

2x - 4 = 2x - 4

since the expressions on both sides are the same then any value of x will make the equation true, that is

the equation has an infinite number of solutions.
