Q. Solve the following equation for x. Express your answer in the simplest form.5(4x+6)=20x+30
Distribute 5 to terms: First, we need to distribute the 5 on the left side of the equation to both terms inside the parentheses.5(4x)+5(6)=20x+3020x+30=20x+30
Identify same terms: Now, we observe that both sides of the equation have the same terms: 20x+30. This suggests that the equation is true for all values of x, indicating that x can be any real number.
Solution for all x: Since the equation simplifies to an identity, where both sides are equal for all x, we do not have a unique solution for x. Instead, the solution is all real numbers.
