Question

Is the problem 24(x - 1) = -4(6 - x) + 20x a conditional equation, contradiction, or identity? I already solved it, the answer is x = 0.

Answer 1

try again

Answer 2

\( 24(x - 1) = -4(6 - x) + 20x \)

Answer 3

distribute, wat do u get ?

Answer 4

24x - 24 = -24 + 16x
- 16x
8x - 24 = -24
+ 24
8x = 0
/ 8
x = 0

Answer 5

Answer 6

there is a mistake in ur first step,
right side u will not get 16x

Answer 7

Oh I forgot about the -x lol

Answer 8

So..
24x - 24 = -24 + 20x
- 20x
4x - 24 = -24
+ 24
4x = 0
/ 4
x = 0
?

Answer 9

\(\large 24(x - 1) = -4(6 - x) + 20x \)

\(\large 24x - 24 = -24 + 4x + 20x\)

\(\large 24x - 24 = -24 + 24x\)

Answer 10

-24 = -24

Answer 11

Is it identity?

Answer 12

Yup !!!!

Answer 13

you got -24 = -24

which is always true, no matter wat happens in the world !
so its an idenity !
