Answer:

Part A: Infinite solutions

First distribute 2(2x-7). Then combine like terms which would leave you with

10x-14=10x-14 which has infinite solutions.

Part B: Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

First distribute 2(x-7) to get 8x+2x-14=7x+3x-14. Then, combine like terms to get 10x-14=10x-14. Since both sides of the equation are the same there are an infinite number of solutions
