To solve the equation \( 6(2x + 4) - 24 = 12x \), we will first simplify the left-hand side.
-
Distribute \( 6 \): \[ 6(2x + 4) = 12x + 24 \] Therefore, the equation becomes: \[ 12x + 24 - 24 = 12x \] Simplifying it further, we have: \[ 12x = 12x \]
-
This equation, \( 12x = 12x \), is true for any value of \( x \). This means that the equation has infinite solutions.
Thus, the answer is: The equation has infinite solutions.
