Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a conditional equation because it is true for specific values of x. Simplifying the given equation: -4x + 6(-2x - 3) = -28 - 6x becomes -4x - 12x - 18 = -28 - 6x, which simplifies to -16x - 18 = -28 - 6x. Solving for x yields a specific solution, making it a conditional equation.
