What we are going to do with this problem is combine all the like terms.
so to begin, we notice that there are two numbers with a^2 involved, and two numbers with an a.
thus:
8
+(-3
is going to equal
5 because adding a negative is just like subtracting.
then we move on to (6a)-(2a) giving us 4a
5 is the only term that stays the same because there are no other similar terms.
last but not least, put the equation together!
answer: 5+4a+5
Expanding the left side of the equation, it is found that since <u>both sides are equal</u>, yes, it is an identity.
An equality represents an identity if <u>both sides are equal</u>.
In this problem:
Expanding the left side:
Since <u>both sides are equal</u>, yes, it is an identity.
