Question - Solving the Linear Equation

Given the equation \(4x + 2 = 2(2x + 3)\)

First, expand the right-hand side: \(4x + 2 = 4x + 6\)

Next, subtract \(4x\) from both sides of the equation: \(4x - 4x + 2 = 4x - 4x + 6\)

This simplifies to: \(2 = 6\)

Since this result is not possible (\(2\) does not equal \(6\)), the equation has no solution.
