Question

Solve; then state the number of solutions.
-2(x-4)=20-2x-12

Answer 1

Answer:

All real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x - 4) = 20 - 2x - 12

Start by distributing -2 inside the parentheses.

-2x + 8 = 20 - 2x - 12

Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.

-2y + 8 = 8 - 2y

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.

-2y = -2y

Divide both sides by -2 to isolate y.

0 = 0

This is a TRUE statement, so there are infinite solutions.
