To determine the number of solutions for the equation (8x-2) = 6(4x-1), let's simplify and solve it step by step.

First, distribute 6 to both terms inside the parentheses:

8x - 2 = 24x - 6

Next, let's simplify the equation by moving all terms involving x to one side:

8x - 24x = -6 + 2

-16x = -4

Dividing both sides by -16:

x = -4 / -16

x = 1/4

Therefore, the equation has one solution, which is x = 1/4.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!

x = -1/2 and it is a no real solution.
