Question

Answer two questions about Equations A and B:

A. 5=-2(z - 1)
B. 5=-2z +2
1) How can we get Equation B from Equation A?
Choose 1 answer:
(A)
Rewrite one side (or both) by combining like terms
(B)
Rewrite one side (or both) using the distributive property
Multiply/divide both sides by the same non-zero constant
(D)
Multiply/divide both sides by the same variable expression
2) Based on the previous answer, are the equations equivalent? In other words, do they have the same

Answer 1

#1: B Rewrite one side (or both) using the distributive property

Multiply/divide both sides by the same non-zero constant

#2: Yes the equations are equivalent
