Determine whether the equation

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

is true for all values of x (and hence an identity) or if it is true for only some values of x (and hence a conditional equation.)

 

- 5 (x + 2 ) + 2 Show work. Simplify the left hand side and determine if it is identical to the right hand side
