Solving an equation with a variable on both sides infinite solutions

The video tutorial explains how to solve an equation by simplifying it and determining the type of solutions it may have. The instructor discusses the possibilities of having infinite, no, or one solution. By using the distributive property and verifying with examples, it is shown that the equation has infinite solutions. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the findings.

What are the three possible outcomes when solving an equation?

• Infinite solutions

• No solutions

• Exactly one solution

What property should you look for when you see parentheses in an equation?

• Distributive property

• Commutative property

• Associative property

How do you simplify the expression 2 * y + 4?

• Combine like terms

• Use distributive property

• Rewrite it as is

Explain why the equation 4 = 4 indicates infinite solutions.

What happens when you plug in different values for y in the equation discussed?
