Solve the equation using the steps:
2(x + 8)= 2x + 8
Step 1: Response area to get Response area
Step 2: Response area to get Response area
There is Response area solution(s).
Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.
2x + 8 - 2x = 2x + 8 - 2x
Step 2: Simplify the equation.
8 = 8
Therefore, the solution is x = 0.
GREAT JOB JOHN
sorry Mr. bot but the answer is wrong!!!!
2(x + 8)= 2x + 8
2x + 16 = 2x + 8
16 = 8 ????
no solution possible
To solve the equation 2(x + 8) = 2x + 8, we can use the following step-by-step approach:
Step 1: Distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
2 * x + 2 * 8 = 2x + 8
After distributing, the equation becomes:
2x + 16 = 2x + 8
Step 2: Simplify the equation by combining like terms:
2x - 2x + 16 = 2x - 2x + 8
The 2x terms cancel out, leaving:
16 = 8
However, when we simplify the equation, we end up with a contradiction. The equation 16 = 8 is not possible. Therefore, there is no solution to this equation.
In summary, the given equation 2(x + 8) = 2x + 8 has no solution.
