Question

solve the following equation. 32x = 8(4x + 2) - 16 all real numbers no solution

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the right - hand side

$32x=8\times4x + 8\times2-16$
$32x = 32x+16 - 16$

Step2: Simplify the right - hand side

$32x=32x+(16 - 16)$
$32x = 32x+0$
$32x=32x$
This equation is an identity, meaning it is true for all real values of $x$.

Answer:

All real numbers
