Answer:

When a= -8, the equation 3(2x-a) = 2(3x+12) has infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

3(2x-a) = 2(3x+12)

6x - 3a = 6x + 24

Subtract 6x from both sides

6x - 3a - 6x = 6x + 24 - 6x

-3a = 24

Divide both sides by -3

a= 24 / -3

a = -8

Substitute a= -8 into the equation

3(2x-a) = 2(3x+12)

3{2x -(-8)} = 2(3x+12)

3(2x + 8) = 2(3x +12)

6x + 24 = 6x + 24

6x - 6x = 24 - 24

0 = 0

When a= -8, the equation 3(2x-a) = 2(3x+12) has infinitely many solutions
