Step 1
The given statement contains two variables x, y and the constants.
In this problem, the two expressions (2x+2)4 and (3x+3)6 are equated by using the equal sign.
Hence, (2x+2)4=(3x+3)6 is an equation.
Step 2
To obtain the solution, solve the equation (2x+2)4=(3x+3)6 for x.
(2x+2)4=(3x+3)6
6(2x+2)=4(3x+3)
12x+12=12x+12
12x-12x=12-12
0=0
Therefore, the given equation is true for all values of x.
