4%28x%2B2%29%2B4=4x-8 Start with the given equation.


4x%2B8%2B4=4x-8 Distribute.


4x%2B12=4x-8 Combine like terms on the left side.


4x=4x-8-12 Subtract 12 from both sides.


4x-4x=-8-12 Subtract 4x from both sides.


0x=-8-12 Combine like terms on the left side.


0x=-20 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=-20 Simplify.


Since this equation is never true for any x value, this means that there are no solutions.
