Answer:
All real numbers are solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
8+2(x−6)=−2+2x−2
8+(2)(x)+(2)(−6)=−2+2x+−2 (Distribute)
8+2x+−12=−2+2x+−2
(2x)+(8+−12)=(2x)+(−2+−2) (Combine Like Terms)
2x+−4=2x+−4
2x−4=2x−4
Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.
2x−4−2x=2x−4−2x
−4=−4
Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.
−4+4=−4+4
0=0
