The last answer was wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Based on the student's work, the equation was solved correctly, but it actually shows that it has no solution.
The equation 2(2x+2) = 4(x+4) simplifies to 4x+4=4x+8, but when we subtract 4x from both sides, we get 4 = 8. This is not a true statement, so there are no values of x that satisfy the equation. Therefore, the correct conclusion is that the equation has no solution.
