we are given
[tex]7(x-y)=7x-7y[/tex]
we can see that 7 is multiplied with x and y
and we know that
Distribution property:
[tex]m(a-b)=m*a-m*b[/tex]
Here, m is distributed inside (a-b)
While 7 is distributed inside (x-y)
so, we use distributive property
now, we will solve this equation
[tex]7(x-y)=7x-7y[/tex]
[tex]7x-7y=7x-7y[/tex]
add both sides 7y
[tex]7x-7y+7y=7x-7y+7y[/tex]
[tex]7x=7x[/tex]
Subtract both sides by 7x
[tex]7x-7x=7x-7x[/tex]
[tex]0=0[/tex]
We can see that there is no specific values of x and y for which this equation is defined
so, this equation is identity
so, the solution will be all real numbers.........Answer
