Any value of x makes the equation true.

Explanation:

-5(3-4x) = -6+20x - 9

-15 + 20x = -15 + 20x

(negative infinity, positive infinity)

Answer 2

True for all x

Explanation:

-5(3-4x) = -6+20x - 9

Distribute

-15 +20x = -6+20x - 9

Combine like terms

-15 +20x = -15+20x

Subtract 20x from each side

-15 +20x-20x = -15+20x -20x

-15 =-15

This is true for all x
