Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 2(x + 8) = 2x + 8 \), here are the steps:

**Step 1:** Use the distributive property to get the resulting equation.

We apply the distributive property:
\[
2(x + 8) = 2x + 16
\]
Resulting equation:
\[
2x + 16 = 2x + 8
\]

**Step 2:** Use the subtraction of equality property to get the resulting equation.

Subtract \( 2x \) from both sides:
\[
2x + 16 - 2x = 2x + 8 - 2x
\]
Resulting equation:
\[
16 = 8
\]

**Step 3:** There is/are no solution(s).

Since \( 16 = 8 \) is a false statement, the equation does not have any solution.

So your final input would be:

- Step 1: Use the **distributive** property to get **2x + 16 = 2x + 8**.
- Step 2: Use the **subtraction of equality** property to get **16 = 8**.
- Step 3: There is/are **no** solution(s).
