Division of Equality
One
2x+16=2x+8
No
Distributive
Step 1: Use the distributive property to get the resulting equation:
2x + 16 = 2x + 8
Step 2: Use the subtraction property of equality to get the resulting equation:
2x - 2x + 16 = 2x - 2x + 8
16 = 8
Step 3: There is no solution to the equation because the equation is inconsistent. 16 cannot equal 8.
