To determine if the equation has one, none, or infinite solutions, we need to simplify it.

5(2x + 2) - 4 = 2x + 6

Start by distributing the 5 on the left side:

10x + 10 - 4 = 2x + 6

Combine like terms:

10x + 6 = 2x + 6

Subtract 2x from both sides:

8x + 6 = 6

Subtract 6 from both sides:

8x = 0

Now, divide both sides by 8:

x = 0

The equation has one solution: x = 0.
