8(x+2)=2(4x+1)+14
factor it: (8*x)+(8*2)=(2*4x)+(2*1)+14
============8x +16 =8x +2 +14
add like terms:8x+16=8x+(2+14)=8x+16
so what you have then looks like:
8x+16=8x+16
simplify by isolating like terms, subtracting 16 from both sides:
8x+16-16=8x+16-16
8x=8x
hmmmmmmm
Does it look like the value of x is limited to only one number or that it will work for all real numbers from this point? You can probably figure it out.

We do not encourage doing students’ homework for them. If you do that they don’t learn anything. Why not try helping them instead?

With math, however, sometimes walking through/doing a problem is the best way to help someone understand it. In fact, in just about every math class I’ve had, if you asked about a problem that was in the homework they would do just that.

This isn’t that though. Maybe I should have quoted when I replied. Sorry to Nyxotic.
