Solve
–6(x + 3) – 10 = 3(–2x – 5) – 13
-6x-18-10=-6x-15-13
-6x-28=-6x-28
Notice that the equations are exactly the same on both sides. This is an identity. All real numbers are the soltuion (there are infinitely many soltuions).
:
No matter what we put in for x it will always equal.
If I put in 0 for x
-6(0+3)-10=3(-2(0)-5)-13
-6(3)-10=3(-5)-13
-18-10=-15-13
-28=-28
If I put in 1 for x
-6(1+3)-10=3(-2(1)-5)-13
-6(4)-10=3(-7)-13
-24-10=-21-13
-34=-34
For fun you can try a few other numbers.
Happy Calculating!!!
