To determine if the given equation has an identity or no solution, we need to simplify and compare the coefficients of the variables on both sides of the equation.
Let's solve the equation step-by-step:
-x + 5 + 6x = 2 + 5x + 3
First, combine like terms on both sides of the equation:
(-x + 6x) + 5 = (5x + 2) + 3
This simplifies to:
5x + 5 = 5x + 5
Notice that the coefficients of the variable x on both sides of the equation are the same (5x), and the constants on both sides are also the same (5). This means that the equation has an identity, meaning that any value of x will satisfy the equation.
Now, let's also check if there is no solution:
To do so, we subtract 5x from both sides of the equation:
5x + 5 - 5x = 5x + 5 - 5x
This simplifies to:
5 = 5
Since the constants on both sides of the equation are equal, this equation also satisfies the condition of no solution.
Therefore, the given equation has an identity and no solution at the same time.
