Question

Diego’s age d is 5 more than 2 times his sister’s age s. This situation is represented by the equation d=2s+5. Which equation is equivalent to the equation d=2s+5?

A) d=2(s+5)
B) d-5=2s
C) d-2=s+5
D) d/2=s+5

Answer 1

d-5=2s

Step-by-step explanation:

Diego's age d is 5 more than 2 times his sister's age s.

The equation used to represent it is :

d = 2s +5

We need to find the equivalent equation for the above equation.

If we take 5 to LHS of the equation, it will become -5 such that,

d-5=2s

Hence, option (b) is the equivalent equation.
