To determine the number of solutions for the equation \(6(2x + 4) - 24 = 12x\), we will first simplify both sides.
- Distribute on the left side:
\[ 6(2x + 4) = 12x + 24 \]
- Substitute that back into the equation:
\[ 12x + 24 - 24 = 12x \]
- Simplify:
\[ 12x = 12x \]
This equation simplifies to \(12x = 12x\), which is always true.
Since the equation holds for all values of \(x\), we can conclude that there are infinite solutions.
