We are given the following equation


2(x+3)=6+2x_{}

We are asked to determine if the above equation has "One Solution", "No Solutions", or "Infinite Many Solutions"

Let us first open the brackets on the left side of the equation


\begin{gathered} 2(x+3)=6+2x_{} \\ 2x+6=6+2x_{} \end{gathered}

As you can see the L.H.S and R.H.S of the equation is the same.

Whenever an equation has L.H.S = R.H.S then we get "Infinite Many Solutions"

Let us verify if there are many such solutions

Let us substitute x = 1


\begin{gathered} 2(1)+6=6+2(1) \\ 2+6=6+2_{} \\ 8=8 \end{gathered}

As you can see the equation is satisfied.

Now Let us substitute x = 2


\begin{gathered} 2(2)+6=6+2(2) \\ 4+6=6+4 \\ 10=10 \end{gathered}

No matter what value you substitute, the equation will always be
