Question
$$\frac{8}{8}+8 = 6$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{8}{8}+8 &= 6&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 8 }. \\[1 em]8\cdot\frac{8}{8}+8\cdot8 &= 8\cdot6&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]8+64 &= 48&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]72 &= 48&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 72 = 48 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
