Answer:


\boxed{\bold{True \ For \ All \ x}}

Step-by-step explanation:

[ Step One ] Group Like Terms


\bold{5\left(2x-3\right)=x+9x-15}

[ Step Two ] Combine Similar Elements:
\bold{x+9x=10x}


\bold{5\left(2x-3\right)=10x-15}

[ Step Three ] Expand
\bold{5\left(2x-3\right): \ 10x-15}


\bold{10x-15=10x-15}

[ Step Four ] Add 15 To Both Sides


\bold{10x-15+15=10x-15+15}

[ Step Five ] Simplify


\bold{10x=10x}

[ Step Six ] Subtract 10x From Both Sides


\bold{10x-10x=10x-10x}

[ Step Seven ] Simplify


\bold{0=0}

[
\boxed{\bold{Final \ Answer}} ]


\bold{Both \ Sides \ Are \ Equal, \ True \ For \ All \ x}


\boxed{\bold{Mordancy}}
