What is the correct solution of
4 - 2x = -2
+4 +4
2x = 2
2 2
x = 6

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:

answer: no

step-by-step explanation: because the big angle will spread away the 2 side that it is on and make the opposite side even longer.

inverse operation of addition

a and c

for infinitely many solutions we require both left and right sides to be equal

distribute and simplify

a

14 - 8x = 20 - 8x - 6 = 14 - 8x ← both sides equal so infinite solutions

b

6x - 54 = 6x - 54 + x = 7x - 54 ← not equal

c

4x + 16 = 4x + 10 + 6 = 4x + 16 ← both sides equal so infinite solutions

d

5x - 40 + 10 = 5x + 10

5x - 30 = 5x + 10 ← not equal
