0 = - 10

Explanation:


2(x + 2) = 6 + 2x \\ distribute \\ 2x + 4 = 6 + 2x \\ rearrange \\ 2x + 4 = 2x - 6 \\ substract \: four \: from \: both \: side \: \\ of \: the \: equation \\ 2x + 4 - 4 = 2x - 6 - 4 \\ 2x = 2x - 10 \\ 2x - 2x = 2x - 10 - 2x \\ = 0 = - 10

Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

2(x+2)=-6+2x

distribute the 2 in the parentheses: 2x+4=-6+2x

add the -6 to the other side to get rid of it on the side that it is on: 2x+10=2x

then subtract the 2x: 10=0x or 10=0

the equation is not solvable
