Riley claims that there are infinitely many solutions to the equation 2 (4x + 1) +8 4 (2x + 1) +8, because the side of the equation is 8. so the equation results in 8 = 8. Which statement explains whether Riley is correct? Yes, because the left and right sides of the equation are the same, so the equation has infinitely many solutions.

Yes, because 8=8 indicates that the equation has infinitely many solutions.

No, because the equation only has one solution, x = 8. =

No, because the equation has no solution.
