Step 1: Use the Response area Property to get Response area resulting equation.
Step 2: Use the Response area Property to get Response area resulting equation.
Step 3: There is/are Response area solution(s).
Step 1: Simplify the expression on both sides of the equation:
2(x+8) = 2x + 8
2x + 16 = 2x + 8
Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:
2x - 2x + 16 = 2x - 2x + 8
16 = 8
Step 3: There is no solution to the equation, as the equation leads to a contradiction.
thats cap
I apologize for the mistake. Let's try solving the equation again:
Step 1: Distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses:
2(x+8) = 2x + 8
2x + 16 = 2x + 8
Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:
2x - 2x + 16 = 2x - 2x + 8
16 = 8
Step 3: There is no solution to the equation, as the equation leads to a contradiction. I apologize for the previous incorrect response. Thank you for pointing it out.
