An equation is shown below: 8x + 2(x - 7) = 7x + 3x - 14 part a: solve the equation and write the number of solutions. show all the steps. part b: name one property you used to solve this equation.

A) there are infinite solutions.

B) distributive property of multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

8x + 2(x - 7) = 7x + 3x - 14

To solve this, first apply the distributive property of multiplication,

8x + 2x - 14 = 7x + 3x - 14

Then, combine the similar terms,

8x + 2x -7x -3x =  -14 + 14

0 = 0

This means that any value of x satisfy the equation, that is, there are infinite solutions.
