To solve the equation, we need to distribute the 2 on the left side of the equation:
2(x+7) = 2(x+3)
2x + 14 = 2x + 6
Subtract 2x from both sides to isolate the constant term:
2x - 2x + 14 = 2x - 2x + 6
14 = 6
This equation is not true, so there is no solution to the equation. The correct answer is not listed, but it should be indicated that there is no solution.

3 answers
It has to be one of these answers
Let's simplify the equation further to find the solution:
2(x+7) = 2(x+3)
2x + 14 = 2x + 6
Subtracting 2x from both sides:
14 = 6
Since 14 is not equal to 6, this equation has no solution.
The correct answer is: None of the given options (A, B, C, D)
