What is the first step to solving the equation 3(6+x)=24

1.  Distribute the 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(6+x)=24

You can do one of two things

1.  Distribute the 3

3*6+3x=24

Or

you can divide each side by 3

The only reason it is a good choice to divide each side by 3 is that 24 is divisible by 3

3(6+x)/3=24/3

6+x = 8

Either answer is an acceptable 1st step

correct answer is infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

solving the above equation:

4x + 6 = -4 +4x +10

combining like terms

4x -4x = -4+10-6

0=0

since both sides are 0=0, we end up into true statement it means it has infinite many solutions.

so correct answer is infinitely many solutions
