Solve. 4 (a + 2) = 8 + 4a

- 2

all real numbers

no solution

- 1

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4 (a + 2) = 8 + 4a - 2 ← distribute left side

4a + 8 = 6 + 4a (subtract 8 from both sides)

4a = - 2 + 4a (subtract 4a from both sides)

0 = - 2 ← not possible

This indicates the equation has no solution

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

4 (a+2) = 8+4a-2

4a+8=8+4a-2

0+8=8-2

0 = - 2
