Let's solve the equation step by step.

8 + 2(x - 6) = -2 + 2x - 2

First, distribute the 2 on the left side:

8 + 2x - 12 = -2 + 2x - 2

Combine like terms:

2x - 4 = 2x - 4

Subtract 2x from both sides:

-4 = -4

Since both sides are equal, the original equation is an identity and is true for all real numbers of x. There are infinite solutions. So, the answer is:

T. infinite solutions
