Solve for x to determine if the equation has one, none, or infinite solutions. 5(2x+2)−4=2x+6

Answer 1

First, let's distribute the 5 on the left side of the equation:

10x + 10 - 4 = 2x + 6

Now, simplify the equation:

10x + 6 = 2x + 6

Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:

8x + 6 = 6

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:

8x = 0

Divide by 8 on both sides:

x = 0

Therefore, the equation has one solution: x = 0.
