57-2x-42=23-2\left(x+4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+21.
15-2x=23-2\left(x+4\right)
Subtract 42 from 57 to get 15.
15-2x=23-2x-8
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+4.
15-2x=15-2x
Subtract 8 from 23 to get 15.
15-2x+2x=15
Add 2x to both sides.
15=15
Combine -2x and 2x to get 0.
\text{true}
Compare 15 and 15.
x\in \mathrm{C}
This is true for any x.
