infinitely many solutions

Example

Simplify left side using distributive property to 6x+16. Combine like terms (2x and 4x) on the right side to 6x+16. Both sides simplify to the same expression (left side = right side) so there are infinitely many solutions. You can plug in any real number for x and the left side will always equal the right side.
