Hello I need help with this problem. I need to identify if the equation is identity, contradiction, or conditional equation.



-(5x-3)+2x=11-4(x+2)

-(5x-3)+2x=11-4(x+2)

-5x+3+2x=11-4x-8
-3x+3=3-4x
(try to make "x" positive here, so add 4x to both sides of the = sign and subtract 3 from both sides as well. doing this will end you with "x=0" which is the answer. but make sure you check that the solution works in the problem (just substitute 0 for the "x"'s in your original problem to show your work.)

I also had x=0 but I'm confused if its a identity, contradiction, or conditional equation

To determine whether the equation -(5x-3)+2x=11-4(x+2) is an identity, a contradiction, or a conditional equation, we need to simplify it.

First, let's simplify both sides of the equation:

-(5x-3)+2x = 11-4(x+2)
-5x + 3 + 2x = 11 - 4x - 8

Next, combine like terms on both sides:

-3x + 3 = 3 - 4x

Now, let's simplify further by moving all the variable terms to one side and all the constant terms to the other side:

-3x + 3 + 4x = 3 - 4x + 4x
x + 3 = 3

Simplifying even more:

x = 0

At this point, we have identified that the value of x is 0. However, this does not necessarily determine the nature of the equation.

To determine the nature of the equation, we need to analyze the coefficients of the simplified equation. In this case, the coefficient of x is 1.

If the coefficient of x is non-zero, then the equation can be classified as a conditional equation.

Therefore, the given equation -(5x-3)+2x=11-4(x+2) is a conditional equation, meaning that the solution depends on the value of x. In this case, x = 0 is a solution to the equation.
