Question

Select ALL the equation that are equivalent to the equation below:

Answer 1

If we simplify the right side of the equation, we have:

`\begin{gathered} ((4y+9))/(3)=1-(5y+8) \\ ((4y+9))/(3)=1-5y-8 \\ ((4y+9))/(3)=-5y-7 \end{gathered}`

Therefore option A (top left) is correct.

If we simplify the left side instead, we have:

`\begin{gathered} ((4y+9))/(3)=1-(5y+8) \\ (4)/(3)y+3=1-(5y+8) \end{gathered}`

Therefore option D (bottom right) is correct.
