Given,

Equation : 56(x+35)=56x+12\dfrac{5}{6}\left(x + \dfrac{3}{5}\right) = \dfrac{5}{6}x + \dfrac{1}{2}

Expanding L.H.S. using the distributive property :

56(x+35)56×x+56×3556x+153056x+12.\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{6}\left(x + \dfrac{3}{5}\right) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{6} \times x + \dfrac{5}{6} \times \dfrac{3}{5} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{6}x + \dfrac{15}{30} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{6}x + \dfrac{1}{2}.

So, L.H.S. = 56x+12\dfrac{5}{6}x + \dfrac{1}{2} and R.H.S. = 56x+12\dfrac{5}{6}x + \dfrac{1}{2}.

L.H.S. = R.H.S. for any value of x. Therefore, the given equation is an identity (it is true for all rational numbers x).

Hence, every rational number x satisfies the given equation, i.e., the equation holds true for all rational values of x.
