To solve the equation \( 6(2x + 4) - 24 = 12x \), we will first simplify the left side.

  1. Distribute the 6 in the equation:

    \[ 6(2x) + 6(4) - 24 = 12x \] \[ 12x + 24 - 24 = 12x \]

  2. Now, simplify the equation:

    \[ 12x = 12x \]

Since the left side equals the right side for any value of \( x \), this indicates that the equation is true for all \( x \).

Thus, the equation has infinite solutions.

The correct response is: The equation has infinite solutions.
