Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation, we need to distribute the 2 on the left side of the equation:

2(x+7) = 2(x+3)
2x + 14 = 2x + 6

Subtract 2x from both sides to isolate the constant term:

2x - 2x + 14 = 2x - 2x + 6
14 = 6

This equation is not true, so there is no solution to the equation. The correct answer is not listed, but it should be indicated that there is no solution.

Answer 2

It has to be one of these answers

Let's simplify the equation further to find the solution:

2(x+7) = 2(x+3)
2x + 14 = 2x + 6

Subtracting 2x from both sides:

14 = 6

Since 14 is not equal to 6, this equation has no solution.

The correct answer is: None of the given options (A, B, C, D)
