Answer:
No solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 2(x + 3) = 6x + 2
Distribute -2 to (x + 3):
8x - 2x - 6 = 6x + 2
Combine like terms:
6x - 6 = 6x + 2
Add 6 to both sides of the equation:
6x - 6 + 6 = 6x + 2 + 6
6x = 6x + 8
Subtract 6x to both sides of the equation:
6x - 6x = 6x + 8 - 6x
0 = 8 This is not a true statement, as 0 is not equal to 8.
Therefore there is no solution.
