2(x + 2) = 2x + 2
Distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses:
2 * x + 2 * 2 = 2x + 2
Simplify both sides:
2x + 4 = 2x + 2
Subtract 2x from both sides to isolate the constant term:
2x - 2x + 4 = 2x - 2x + 2
0x + 4 = 0 + 2
Simplify:
4 = 2
Since the equation 4 = 2 is not true, this means that the original equation 2(x + 2) = 2x + 2 has no solution.
