Exercise 1 Page 361

Gather all of the variable terms on one side of the equation and all of the constant terms on the other side.

Identity

Practice makes perfect
To solve an equation, we need to start by using the Distributive Property to simplify the left- and right-hand sides of the equation.
3(2-2x)=-6(x-1)
6-6x=-6(x-1)
6-6x=-6x+6
6-6x=6-6x
Since the left-hand side is equal to the right-hand side, simplifying the equation resulted in an identity.
