Answer:

Infinite number osolutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

4r + 8 = 8 + 4r

So, we can organize the terms on the right side as follows:

4r + 8 = 4r + 8

Since both sides are identical, the equation has an infinite number of solutions.

Because r can take any value and the equation will be satisfied.

For example, if r = 1, we get:

4(1) + 8 = 4(1) + 8

4 + 8 = 4 + 8

12 = 12

And if r = 100, we get:

4(100) + 8 = 4(100) +

408 = 408
