Question
$$2x\cdot6 = 6x\cdot2$$
Answer
The equation has an infinite number of solutions.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 2x\cdot6 &= 6x\cdot2&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 12x } $ to the left side} \\[1 em]12x-12x &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]12x-12x &= 0&& \\[1 em]0 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{blue}{ 0 = 0 } $ is TRUE for any value of $ x $, we conclude that the equation has infinitely many solutions.
