Answer:

6x - 5 = 6x - 5

Explanation:

If we have the same quantity on both sides of the equation, then the equation becomes an identity — an equation that is true for any value of the present variables.

If we set 6x - 5 equal to 6x - 5, then there are infinite solutions.

For example,

when x is 3:

6(3) - 5 = 6(3) - 5

18 - 5 = 18 - 5

13 = 13 ✔

when x is 5:

6(5) - 5 = 6(5) - 5

30 - 5 = 30 - 5

25 = 25 ✔
