The linear equation has 2 (2 + 3) + 4x = 2 (2x + 2) + 6

A) no solution.

B) one solution.

C) two solutions.

D) infinitely many solutions.

Question:

The linear equation has 2 (2 + 3) + 4x = 2 (2x + 2) + 6

Answer:

1.) Distribute the parenthesis:

2 (2 + 3) = 4 + 6 = 10

2 (2x + 2) = 4x + 4

2.) Put that in the equation:

10 + 4x = 4x + 4 + 6

3.) Simplify:

10 + 4x = 4x + 10

4.) Then subtract 4x and 10 to both sides:

0 = 0

is the answer.

So, the answer is A, no solution
