Q. Solve the following equation for x. Express your answer in the simplest form.5(3x+3)=5(3x+3)
Simplify Equation: First, we need to simplify both sides of the equation if possible.5(3x+3)=5(3x+3)Since both sides of the equation are identical, they simplify to the same expression.
Distribute 5: We can distribute the 5 on both sides of the equation.5×3x+5×3=5×3x+5×3This simplifies to:15x+15=15x+15
Subtract 15x: Next, we subtract 15x from both sides of the equation to try to isolate x. 15x+15−15x=15x+15−15x This simplifies to: 15=15
Verify Identity: We notice that the variable x has been eliminated, and we are left with a statement that 15 equals 15, which is always true.This means that the equation is an identity and is true for all values of x.
Infinite Solutions: Since the equation is true for all values of x, there is no single solution for x. Instead, x can be any real number.
