solve the equation but tell if the solution turns out to be a false equation or identity
5+7x+2=5x-14
Let's solve the equation:
5 + 7x + 2 = 5x - 14
Combining like terms, we get:
7x + 7 = 5x - 14
Subtract 5x from both sides:
2x + 7 = -14
Subtract 7 from both sides:
2x = -21
Divide by 2:
x = -21/2
Therefore, x = -10.5
Since the only solution for x is -10.5, there is no false equation or identity. The solution is correct.
