Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given that,

Two equations,

A. 5x−2+x=x-4

B. 5x+x=x−4

1.

The RHS of both the equations is same. To make them equal we need to remove the difference.

If we add 2 to the left side of equation A, then we get equation B.

The correct option is (A) i.e. Add/subtract a quantity to/from only one side.

2.

As the equations are not same, they will have different solutions. The answer choice is (b) "No".
