Answer:

No solutions

Explanation:

Simplify the given equation:


7(x+2)=7x-10

Distribute, multiply every term inside of the parenthesis by the term outside of it.


7(x+2)=7x-10


7(x)+7(2)=7x-10

Simplify,


7x+14=7x-10

Inverse operations,


7x+14=7x-10


7x+(-7x)+14=7x+(-7x)-10

Simplify,


7x+(-7x)+14=7x+(-7x)-10


7x-7x+14=7x-7x-10


14=-10

This equation simplifies down to an untrue equation, therefore, there are no solutions to this equation.
