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

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
