To determine the type of each equation based on the given results, we can categorize them as follows:

  • An equation like \(7 = 7\) is an identity, meaning it is true for all values of the variable.
  • An equation like \(x = 5\) is a conditional equation, meaning it is true for specific values of the variable.
  • An equation like \(-6 = 5\) is a contradiction, meaning it is never true.
Paso 1: Clasificar la Ecuación (a)

La ecuación \(7 = 7\) es una identidad. Esto significa que es verdadera para todos los valores de la variable, ya que ambos lados de la ecuación son iguales.

Paso 2: Clasificar la Ecuación (b)

La ecuación \(x = 5\) es una ecuación condicional. Esto significa que es verdadera solo para valores específicos de la variable, en este caso, cuando \(x = 5\).

Paso 3: Clasificar la Ecuación (c)

La ecuación \(-6 = 5\) es una contradicción. Esto significa que nunca es verdadera, ya que los dos lados de la ecuación no son iguales y no hay valor de la variable que pueda hacerlos iguales.

Respuesta Final
  • La ecuación (a) es una identidad: \(\boxed{\text{identidad}}\)
  • La ecuación (b) es una ecuación condicional: \(\boxed{\text{condicional}}\)
  • La ecuación (c) es una contradicción: \(\boxed{\text{contradicción}}\)
