Answer 1

8x - 2(x + 1) = 2(3x - 1)

First, expand to remove parenthesis. / Your problem should look like:
`8x - 2x - 2 = 6x - 2`
Second, subtract 8x - 2x - 2 to get 6x - 2. / Your problem should look like:
`6x - 2 = 6x - 2`
Third, both sides are equal, so there are infinite solutions. The equation is always true.

Answer: infinite solutions
