Solve the equation, and check the solution. If applicable, tell whether the equation is an identity or a contradiction. 2x + 16 = 2
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
O A. The solution set is ]
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
OB. The solution set is all real numbers), so the equation is an identity
Oc. The solution set is o so the equation is a contradiction.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

they will manufacture 8496 cars

it has the same slope and a different y-intercept

hope this : )
