Question

Decide wheter the equation is an identity, a conditional, or contradiction. 5(2x-31)=10x-155

Answer 1

identity (meaning always true for all X)

Answer 2

can you distribute 5 over the parentheses ?

Answer 3

5(2x - 31) = ?

Answer 4

I don't think so. The questions just asked if this was an identity, a conditional of contradiction.

Answer 5

right but doing the above operation will make it clearer about what it is

= 5*2x - 5*31
= 10x - 155

Answer 6

now you have 10x - 155 = 10x - 155

Answer 7

now does that comply with future's definition?
