Are any solutions possible for this problem..

-2(x+3) = -2x - 6

if not, how come?

The equation: , is simplified with distribution of parentheses: .

Now add to both sides and get: .

The numbers are equal therefore the solution to the equation can be any number .

step-by-step explanation:

first, eliminate the parenthesis:

3

x

+

2

−

4
