Fill in the Blank

A telecommunications engineer uses the equation 6(2n1)+3=2n8+5(2n+1){}6(2n - 1) + 3 = 2n - 8 + 5(2n + 1) to compare two signal strength models, where nn is the number of repeaters. After applying the distributive property and combining like terms, the engineer simplifies the equation to the true statement 3=3{}-3 = -3. In mathematics, this type of equation that is true for all possible values of the variable is called a(n) ____.
