Answer:

0=0

This means it is true for all x

Explanation:

-5 + 5 (x-7) = -40 + 5x

Step 1: 5x-40=-40+5x

Step 2: Add 40 to both sides

5x-40+40=-40+5x+40

Step 3: Simplify

5x=5x

Step 4: Subtract 5x from both sides

5x-5x=5x-5x

Step 5: Simplify

0=0

Both sides are equal

True

Or

True for all x
