Answer: The answer for this problem is all real numbers or R.
Step-by-step explanation: In order to solve first you must deal with what's inside the parenthesis.
[tex]8(4x+2)=8*4x + 8*2= 32x +16[/tex]
Now that the parenthesis is out of the picture, now proceed to subtract the 16 that was outside of the parenthesis.
[tex]32x+16-16=32x[/tex]
You should then have an equation set up like so.
32x = 32x
Now you need to move one of the 32x's to the other side of the equation.
[tex]32x-32x=0[/tex]
Your final equation should be.
0 = 0
So, all real numbers (R) will work for this equation.
