Question

For the equation, decide if it is always true or never true.

2(x + 3) = 5x + 6 − 3x

Answer 1

always true

Explanation:

Given

2(x + 3) = 5x + 6 - 3x ← distribute left side

2x + 6 = 2x + 6

Since both sides are equal then any real value of x is a solution.

Thus the equation is always true
