How many solutions does the equation have. 8 +2 (x - 6) = -2 + 2x -2

1 answer

The equation 8 + 2(x - 6) = -2 + 2x - 2 simplifies to 8 + 2x - 12 = -2 + 2x - 2 which further simplifies to 2x - 4 = 2x - 4.

Since the equation simplifies to an identity (a statement that is true for all values of x), it means that the equation has infinitely many solutions.
