3(((2(x+5-2)+4)/2)-x+6) = 33
3(((2(x+3)+4)/2)-x+6) = 33
3((x+3+2)-x+6) = 33
3(x+5-x+6) = 33
3(11) = 33
33 = 33
It's an identity, meaning that no matter what value of x one picks, the result will always be 33.
3(((2(x+3)+4)/2)-x+6) = 33
3((x+3+2)-x+6) = 33
3(x+5-x+6) = 33
3(11) = 33
33 = 33

1... x
2 ... x + 5
3... x+5 - 2 = x+3
4.. 2(x+3) = 2x + 6
5... 2x+6 + 4 = 2x + 10 =2(x+5)
6.... 2(x+5)/2 = x + 5
7... x+ 5 - x = 5
8... 5 + 6 = 11
9. 11 * 3 = 33
2 ... x + 5
3... x+5 - 2 = x+3
4.. 2(x+3) = 2x + 6
5... 2x+6 + 4 = 2x + 10 =2(x+5)
6.... 2(x+5)/2 = x + 5
7... x+ 5 - x = 5
8... 5 + 6 = 11
9. 11 * 3 = 33

3(([[2((x+5)-2)+4]/2]-x)+6)
yes its 33
yes its 33
