answers
combining like terms
16=8
division of equality
x+16=2x+8
8=8
x=8
x=16
distributive
x=0
multiplication of equality
no
subtraction of equality
one
infinite
addition of equality
2x+16=2x+8
2x+8=2x+8
Step 1: Use the distributive property to get 2x + 16 = 2x + 8.
Step 2: Use the subtraction of equality property to get 2x + 16 - 2x = 2x + 8 - 2x, resulting in 16 = 8.
Step 3: There is no solution to the equation, as 16 does not equal 8.
are you sure
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's solve the equation correctly:
Step 1: Use the distributive property to get 2x + 16 = 2x + 8.
Step 2: Use the subtraction of equality property to get 2x + 16 - 2x = 2x + 8 - 2x, resulting in 16 = 8.
Step 3: There is no solution to the equation, as 16 does not equal 8.
I apologize for the confusion caused by my previous response.
