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