Answer:
infinite solutions
Explanation:
5(x − 2) + 2 = 5x − 8
5*x - 5*2 + 2 = 5x - 8 ==> distribute 5 to x ad -2 using distribution property
5x - 10 + 2 = 5x - 8
-10 + 2 = -8 ==> subtract 5x on both sides
-8 = -8 ==> true
Hence, the equation has infinite solutions since any value of x will result in the equation -8 = -8.
