-6(x+3)=-6x+5
first, distribute the -6, resulting in:
-6x-18=-6x+5
as you can see, these two equations are not the same. if you simplify it further, you get:
-6x=-6x+23
for the second equation, after distributing the 8 and simplifying both sides, you get x=x, so x can be infinitely different numbers
