Fill in the Blank

A financial analyst is comparing two predictive models that result in the equation 4+9(3x−7)=−42x−13+23(3x−2){}4 + 9(3x - 7) = -42x - 13 + 23(3x - 2). After distributing and combining like terms, the analyst finds that both sides simplify to the exact same expression, 27x−59{}27x - 59. Subtracting 27x{}27x from both sides leaves the unconditionally true numerical statement −59=−59-59 = -59. Recalling algebraic classifications, the analyst notes that because this equation is true for all possible values of the variable, it is cla
