2x + 16 = 2x + 8
2x + 8 = 2x + 8
2x + 8 = 2x 
2x + 24 = 2x 
8 = -8
x = -8
x = 8

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To solve the equation $2 (x + 8) = 2x + 8$, we will use various properties. Here are the steps filled in according to your instructions: **Step 1:** Use the **multiplication property of equality** to distribute the 2 on the left side of the equation. Response area: $2x + 16 = 2x + 8$ --- **Step 2:** Now, use the **subtraction property of equality** to eliminate $2x$ from both sides. Response area: $16 = 8$ --- Now we analyze the result of the second step. Since $16 = 8$ is a false statement, it indicates that there are **no solutions** to the original equation. Thus, the final answers are: There is/are **No** solution(s).
