Question

8+2(x-6)=-2+2x-2 How many solutions does this have? Hurry plz

Answer 1

All real numbers are solutions.

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8+2(x−6)=−2+2x−2

8+(2)(x)+(2)(−6)=−2+2x+−2 (Distribute)

8+2x+−12=−2+2x+−2

(2x)+(8+−12)=(2x)+(−2+−2) (Combine Like Terms)

2x+−4=2x+−4

2x−4=2x−4

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

2x−4−2x=2x−4−2x

−4=−4

Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.

−4+4=−4+4
