-8x%2B8-2x=-10x%2B8 Start with the given equation


-10x%2B8=-10x%2B8 Combine like terms on the left side


-10x=-10x%2B8-8Subtract 8 from both sides


-10x%2B10x=8-8 Add 10x to both sides


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


0x=0 Combine like terms on the right side


0=0 Simplify

Since this equation is always true for any x value, this means x can equal any number. So there are an infinite number of solutions.
