Answer:

Infinite Solutions

Explanation:

Let's solve this equation my simplifying it so that we have x on one side.

Apply the distributive property on the right side:


7x - 14 = (7\cdot x) + (7\cdot -2)\\\\7x-14 = 7x-14

Woah, that's strange. We have the exact same thing on both sides of the equation. This means there are infinite solutions. If we tried simplifying this, we'd just end up with 0 = 0.

Test it out! Any value of
x will work for this equation.

Hope this helped!
