Answer:

D. an infinite number of solutions

Explanation:

In order to know that this is true, you must do simple steps to solve it. The first equation (y = 2 (x + 4)) is unsolved. In order to make it equal to the second equation (Y = 2 x + 8

), you must first use the distributive property, so multiply the x and the 4 in the first equation to get Y= (2x + 8), remove the parenthesis, and now, the equations are equal. Since they are equal, they overlap each other on the graph, so any number replacing x will change both equations equally, so they will forever overlap no matter what.

Hope this helps! [?][?]
