Given the equation 2(x+4) = 2x+8

For us to determine whether the equation has a solution, we need to solve for the value of x if possible

First, open the parenthesis

2x+8 = 2x+8

collect like terms

2x-2x = 8-8

0x =0

x = 0/0 (indeterminate)

The indeterminate function that we arrives at shows that the equation does not have a solution. You acn see that we do not have any value for x
