Question

Solve for x.
2(x + 5) + 2 = 4x + 12 - 2x

Answer 1

Hey there!

The answer to your question is infinitely many solutions.

First, we will simplify each side of the equation. On the left side, we are given:

`2(x+5)+2`

First, distribute
`2`:

`2x+10+2`

Add
`10` and
`2`:

`2x +12`

On the right side, we are given:

`4x+12-2x`

So, we subtract
`2x` from
`4x`:

`2x+12`

Now, we have:

`2x+12=2x+12`

First, subtract
`2x` from both sides:

`12=12`

We got,
`12=12`, which means
`x` has infinitely many solutions.

Have a terrificly amazing day! :)
