Yes, due to the fact that if they equal each other it means that the equation is always true meaning infinite solutions. So in this case 2 times x time 4 equals 2x+8=2x+8

Answer: yes

Explanation:

In order to solve this equation, we need to isolate x.

Given equation:


2x+8=2(x+4)

Distribute 2:


2x+8=2x+8

Rearrange


2x-2x=8-8


0=0

This equation has infinite solutions; any value of x will satisfy this equation.
