Charlie used these steps to solve the equation 6x + 5 = 1 + 2(3x + 2). Which choice describes the meaning of his result, 5 = 5?
All values of x make the equation true.
No values of x make the equation true.
The solution is x = 5.
The result is not correct because Step 2 has an error.
The correct choice is: All values of x make the equation true.
Explanation: The equation simplifies to the identity 5 = 5, which is always true regardless of the value of x. This indicates that there are infinitely many solutions for x since any value of x will satisfy the original equation.
