HVAC Energy Usage Audit

A facility manager is comparing the energy usage of two HVAC systems. The relationship is governed by the equation 5m+3(9+3m)=2(7m−11){}5m + 3(9 + 3m) = 2(7m - 11). Upon simplifying the expressions, the manager finds that the variable mm is eliminated, resulting in the false numerical statement 27=−22{}27 = -22. What is the formal mathematical term used to classify this specific type of linear equation?
