Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given a linear equation in the form of 6x+5=6(x+)76x+5=6(x+)-7. . We need to find the value of xx that satisfies this equation.

STEP 2

First, we need to simplify the equation by distributing the 66 on the right side of the equation.
6x+5=6x+1276x+5=6x+12-7

STEP 3

Next, simplify the right side of the equation by subtracting 77 from 1212.
6x+5=6x+56x+5=6x+5

STEP 4

Now, we can subtract 6x6x from both sides of the equation to isolate xx.
6x6x+=6x6x+6x-6x+=6x-6x+

STEP 5

implify both sides of the equation.
5=55=5

STEP 6

The equation 5=55=5 is always true, which means that the original equation is an identity. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions for xx.
The solution is that xx can be any real number.
