4x+3(x−2)=8x−(6+x)

Answer 1

First, distribute the 3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
4x + 3x - 6 = 8x - 6 - x

Combine like terms on both sides of the equation:
7x - 6 = 7x - 6

Now notice that both sides of the equation are the same, so the equation is an identity and holds true for all values of x.
