Determine if the following is an identity or contradiction.
4(x+3)-5=4x+17
If in solving the equation the variables (x's) are eliminated and the statement is true then it's an identity, if it's false it's a contradiction.
The x's were eliminated and the statement is false, so this is a contradiction.
**************************************************************************
What if...instead...you had:
4(x+3)-5=4x+7
This would be an Identity....
Right here you can see both side are the same and this is an identity, but if you tried to get the x's on the same side you get.
The x's were eliminated and the statement is true, so this is an identity.
Hope that helped. Happy Calculating!!!
