Question

Solve for X to determine if the equation has one, none, or infinite solutions.
5(2x+2)-4=2x+6

Answer 1

To solve for X, we first distribute the 5 to the terms inside the parentheses:

10x + 10 - 4 = 2x + 6

Now we simplify by combining like terms:

10x + 6 = 2x + 6

Subtract 6 from both sides:

10x = 2x

Divide by 2 on both sides:

5x = x

x = x

Since x = x, there are infinite solutions for this equation.
