Question

A set of equations is given below:

Equation A: c = 2d + 1
Equation B: c = 3d + 5

Which of the following is a step that can be used to find the solution to the set of equations?

2d + 1 = 3d + 5
2d = 3d + 5
2d + 1 = 3d
2d + 5 = 3d + 1

Answer 1

2d + 1 = 3d + 5

Explanation:

i

Answer 2

If you would like to find a step that can be used to find the solution to the set of equations, you can do this using the following steps:

c = 2d + 1
c = 3d + 5
__________
c = c
2d + 1 = 3d + 5
2d - 3d = 5 - 1
- d = 4
d = -4

The correct result would be 2d + 1 = 3d + 5.
