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
