Seems to me like if it's not always true, then it's no equation.
Identity equation
An equation that is always true is an identity.
It is balance
true
In math, an equation that is always true is called an identity.

Yes because this keeps both sides of the equation in balance.

Remains true. But this does not apply to square roots.
No, it's not
We call a solution any value of the variable which satisfies the given equation. If the number of values you get (which always satisfy the equation) is a finite number, then the equation is sometimes true (meaning it is true only for those values you got). ex. x + 3 = 5 is true only when x is 2. x2 - 5 = 4 is true only when x is -3 or 3. √x = 7 is true only when x is 49. (check:) 2(3x - 1) = 6x - 2 is always true, meaning for any value that x can take on, both sides becomes equal when x is replaced by it. 2(3x - 1) = 6x - 26x - 2 = 6x - 2 (both sides seems to be equal) , or subtract 6x and add 2 to both sides 0 = 0 a true statement. Since 0 = 0 is an equivalent statement to the original equation and it is a true one, then the original equation must be also a true statement. Thus, there are infinitely many solutions for the given equation. Therefore, the given equation is always true. Sometimes, before you start to solve an equation, you need to exclude some value(s) for the variable of being a solution, because they can make the equation undefined. For example, if the variable happens to be in the denominator, you have to exclude all the values of the variable that make the denominator equal to zero.
