Determine whether the equation is an identity, a conditional equation, or a contradiction. $$ 3(x+2)=5 x+4 $$
Added by Guy C.
Step 1
The given equation is \( 3(x+2) = 5x + 4 \). Distribute the 3 on the left side: \( 3 \cdot x + 3 \cdot 2 = 5x + 4 \). This simplifies to: \( 3x + 6 = 5x + 4 \). Show more…
