Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

8 + 2(x - 6) = -2 + 2x - 2

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Distribute 2:                         8 + 2x - 12 = -2 + 2x - 2
  2. Combine like terms:            2x - 4 = 2x - 4
  3. Add 4 on both sides:           2x = 2x
  4. Divide 2 on both sides:       x = x

Here we see that x does indeed equal x.

∴ x = infinite amount of solutions.
