Question

Solve, then identify whether it is an identity or a contradiction. 3x-6= -3x+6(x-2)

Answer 1

Given the equation

`3x-6=-3x+6(x-2)`

We can solve the equation by opening the brackets and simplifying them.

`\begin{gathered} 3x-6=-3x+6x-12 \\ 3x-6=3x-12 \\ 3x-3x=6-12 \\ 0\\e-6 \end{gathered}`

Since the left-hand side of the equation is not equal to the right-hand side of the equation.

AnswerThe equation represents a contradiction
