Solve the equation using the property and the steps: 2(x+8)=2x+8

Question

Step 1:  Response area Property to get Response area

Step 2:  Response area Property to get Response area

There is/are Response area solution(s)

Answer 1

Step 1: Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition

2(x+8) = 2x + 16

Step 2: Combine like terms

2x + 16 = 2x + 8

Since the variables cancel out, the equation simplifies to:

16 = 8

This is not a true statement, so there are no solutions to this equation.
