First, distribute the 2 on the left side of the equation:
2x + 10 = 4x + 8 - 2x + 2
Combine like terms on the right side of the equation:
2x + 10 = 2x + 10
Since the variables and constants are the same on both sides of the equation, this equation is an identity. It means that the equation is true for all real numbers, rather than having a specific solution.
Solve the equation
2(x+5)= 4x+8-2x+2
