[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

4x + 3(x-2) = 8x - (6+x)

First, distribute 3 to (x-2):

4x + 3x - 6 = 8x - 6 - x

Combine like terms on both sides:

7x - 6 = 7x - 6

Subtract 7x from both sides:

7x - 7x - 6 = 7x - 7x - 6

-6 = -6

Since -6 = -6 is always true, this equation has infinite solutions.
