Question

Determine whether or not the two equations below have the same solution. In two or more complete sentences, explain your rationale.


`(2)/(3)x` +
`(3)/(4)` = 8

8x=87

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:The two problems have the same solution because in the first problem you subtract 3/4 from both sides of the equation which will give you 2/3x=29/4 and after simplifying the problem you will multiply both sides by 3 then divide both sides by two and your answer will be x=87/8

So as the second problem you will get the same answer by dividing both sides of the equation by 8.

Answer 2

These two equations have the same solution of x=87/8
in the first equation. you must establish a least common denominator. which will be 12. so the equation will transform into 8/12x+9/12=96/12. after isolating the variable and dividing by 8/12 you will be left with x=87/8
In the second equation you simply divide by 8 and get x=87/8
