Question

Use properties to rewrite the given equation. Which equations have the same solution as 2.3p – 10.1 = 6.5p – 4 – 0.01p? Select two options.

2.3p – 10.1 = 6.4p – 4
2.3p – 10.1 = 6.49p – 4
230p – 1010 = 650p – 400 – p
23p – 101 = 65p – 40 – p
2.3p – 14.1 = 6.4p – 4

Answer 1

2.3p – 10.1 = 6.49p – 4
`\huge \checkmark`

230p – 1010 = 650p – 400 – p
`\huge \checkmark`

Explanation:

……………………………………………

2.3p – 10.1 = 6.5p – 4 – 0.01p

⇔ 2.3p – 10.1 = (6.5p – 0.01p) – 4

⇔ 2.3p – 10.1 = (6.5 – 0.01)p – 4

⇔ 2.3p – 10.1 = (6.49)p – 4

⇔ 2.3p – 10.1 = 6.49p – 4

_______________________

2.3p – 10.1 = 6.5p – 4 – 0.01p

⇔ 100 × (2.3p – 10.1) = 100 × (6.5p – 4 – 0.01p) multiply both sides by 100

⇔ 100 × (2.3p – 10.1) = 100 × (6.5p – 4 – 0.01p)

⇔ 230p – 1010 = 650p – 400 – p
