Given the equation 3(2t6)=2(3t9)3(2t-6)=2(3t-9), we can identify if it is an identity or if it has no solution by:

3(2t6)=2(3t9)Given6t18=6t18Distributive property on both sides6t186t=6t186tSubtract 6t on both sides18=18Simplify\begin{aligned} 3(2t-6)&=2(3t-9)&&\text{Given}\\ 6t-18&=6t-18&&\text{Distributive property on both sides}\\ 6t-18-6t&=6t-18-6t&&\text{Subtract 6t on both sides}\\ -18&=-18&&\text{Simplify}\\ \end{aligned}

Since both sides are equal, then the equation is true for all tt or an identity.
