How many solutions does 2 (x-2) + 2=2x-1 have? Will mark as brainliest

Simplify the left side first by distributing the 2 across (x+2)

2x - 4 + 2 = 2x - 1

Simplify again

2x - 2 = 2x - 1

Subtract 2x from both sides

-2 = - 1

This is obviously not true, and so the original equation has no solutions
