\n" ); document.write( "6x - 12 + 2x = 3 + 8x - 15
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This equation is always true.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It is an identity.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To get the conclusion, simplify this equation as you usually do.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It means: collect the terms with x; collect the constant terms etc.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In this way you will get \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(6x + 2x - 8x) + (-12 -3 + 15) = 0, or\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0*x + 0 = 0, or\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0 = 0.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This equation is always true, so the original equation is.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
