Asked to determine if the given equation is an identity, a conditional equation, or a contradiction.
00:06
And the only way to figure that out is to go ahead and try and solve.
00:09
So first, we're going to remove the parentheses on the left -hand side by distributing.
00:13
Well, negative 0 .6x, negative 0 .6 times x is negative 0 .6.
00:19
And then when we multiply negative 0 .6 by negative 5, that's going to give us positive 3.
00:26
Now we'll distribute the 0 .8.
00:28
Well, 0 .8 times x is positive 0 .8.
00:31
And 0 .8 times negative 6 is negative 4 .8.
00:35
And the right -hand side we're just going to bring down...
