please help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what kind of equation is X-4=5 ?

OpenStudy (danjs):

a line

OpenStudy (danjs):

:-O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it conditional , identity or contradiction

OpenStudy (danjs):

x=# is a condition

OpenStudy (danjs):

10 = 25 is a contradiction

OpenStudy (danjs):

10 = 10 is an identity, all real number solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

contradiction AN EQUATION THAT HAS NO ANSWERS (NULL SET or NO SOLUTION 3(x+2)=3x-5 3x+6=3x-5 Subtract (3x) from both sides 6=-5 False Statement No Solution conditional equation AN EQUATION THAT IS TRUE BASED "ON THE CONDITION" THAT THE SOLUTION IS X=(A CERTAIN) THAT MAKES THE EQUATION TRUE 3(x+2)=2x-5 3x+6=2x-5 Subtract 3x from both sides AND Subtract 6 from both sides x=-11 The equation is true based on the condition that x=-11 identity AN EQUATION THAT HAS ALL REAL NUMBERS AS ITS ANSWERS. At some step in the solving of the equation you will get the same IDENTICAL terms on both sides of the equation. 3(x+2)=3x+6 3x+6=3x+6(Note the same terms on both sides) COULD STOP HERE and say the solution is ALL REAL NUMBERS If you Subtract 3x from both sides AND Subtract 6 from both sides you will get 0=0
