Determine whether the equation below is an identity or whether it has no solution. 4(2x−8)=8(x−8) (1 point)

Answer 1

To determine if the equation is an identity or has no solution, we can simplify both sides of the equation.

4(2x-8) = 8(x-8)
8x - 32 = 8x - 64

Subtracting 8x from both sides:
-32 = -64

The statement -32 = -64 is false, which means there is no solution to the equation.
