Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

10x - 6 + 2x = 4(3x - 1) - 2

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Combine like terms:                    12x - 6 = 4(3x - 1) - 2
  2. Distribute 4:                                  12x - 6 = 12x - 4 - 2
  3. Combine like terms:                    12x - 6 = 12x - 6
  4. Add 6 on both sides:                   12x = 12x
  5. Divide 12 on both sides;               x = x

Here we see that x does indeed equal x.

∴ any value x would work as a solution to the equation, hence we have infinite amount of solutions.

Answer:

The answer is infinite.

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you first simplify the problem you would have:

12x - 6 = 4 ( 3x - 1 ) - 2

I just combined like terms.

Then you distribute the 4 to the 3x and the negative 1.

So you would have 12x - 6 = 12x - 4 - 2

So once again you would combine like terms and get 12x - 6 = 12x - 6

If you simplified it out and subtracted like terms from both sides you would get 0 = 0 which is true so there is infinite solutions.
