Mathias was asked whether the following equation is an identity: 2x^2+10x+6=(x+3)(2x+1)+3(x+1)

Is mathias correct? If not, in which step did he make a mistake ?

A, mathias is correct
B, mathias is incorrect he made a mistake in step 1
C, mathias is incorrect he made a mistake in step 3
D, mathias is incorrect he made a mistake in step 4

correct answer is infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

solving the above equation:

4x + 6 = -4 +4x +10

combining like terms

4x -4x = -4+10-6

0=0

since both sides are 0=0, we end up into true statement it means it has infinite many solutions.

so correct answer is infinitely many solutions
