2%283x%2B6%29%2B8=6x Start with the given equation.


6x%2B12%2B8=6x Distribute.


6x%2B20=6x Combine like terms on the left side.


6x=6x-20 Subtract 20 from both sides.


6x-6x=-20 Subtract 6x from both sides.


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


0=-20 Simplify.


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