Answer:

O No solution

Explanation:

2x +2 = 2(x+3)

Distributer the 2 on the right side.

2x + 2 = 2x + 6

Subtract 2x from both sides.

2 = 6

2 = 6 is a false statement.

Since we did two legal steps to solve the equation, and we ended up with a false statement, that means this equation has no solution.

Answer: O No solution
