How many solutions does this have 2x + 2 = 2(x + 1)

Answer:

Infinitely Many Solutions

Explanation:

You distribute 2 into x+1

2x+2=2x+2

Subtract 2x from both sides.

2=2

Since 2 does equal 2, there are infinitely many solutions.

The statement is true for any value of x, because both sides are identical
