Did you cook this one up yourself??

 

(all values of x are solutions).

5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13

 

Distribute.

-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13

 

Combine like terms.

-16x - 7 = -16x - 7

 

Both sides say the exact same thing.

So yes, it is true for all values of x.       :)
