Answer:
All real numbers are solutions.
Explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4(3x+2)=16x+7−4x+1
(4)(3x)+(4)(2)=16x+7+−4x+1(Distribute)
12x+8=16x+7+−4x+1
12x+8=(16x+−4x)+(7+1)(Combine Like Terms)
12x+8=12x+8
12x+8=12x+8
Step 2: Subtract 12x from both sides.
12x+8−12x=12x+8−12x
8=8
Step 3: Subtract 8 from both sides.
8−8=8−8
0=0
