Is this equation an identity? 6 + 5m = 4m​

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't think so. This equation has but one definite answer and the left and right sides don't produce the same result.

subtract 5m from both sides

6 = 4m - 5m

6 = - m                 Multiply both sides by - 1

-6 = m

An identity is something like 4x + 5x = 9x

It doesn't matter what x is. Any value of x will make the right side = to the left side. This becomes more important when you will study trigonometry.
