C. -4(3 - 2x) = -12 - 8x
D. -5((x/15) - 16) - 30 = 50 - (1/3)x
E. 36((3/4)x- 2) + 72 =-72 + 27x

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is an identity if the equation is always true regardless of what value you replace 'x' with.

This means we need to simplify the equations above to see which one will be true for any value of 'x'.

After simplifying equation C, we get -12-8x = -12-8x. Since both sides of the equation are the same, this equation will be true regardless of what value replaces x so this equation is an identity.
