Question

Select any equations that have the same solution set as:

2x + 3 = 13

A.6 + 4x = 26


B.10x = 20


C.12 = 13 - 5x


D.4x = 20

Answer 1

Answer: 6+4x=26, 4x=20

Step-by-step explanation: 6+4x=20 is the initial equation but completely multiplied by two, so you can know without solving that it is equivalent.

If you solve the equation, 2x+3=13 (subtract 3 from both sides)

2x=10 (divide both sides by 2)

x equals 5.

if you plug in 5 as x to 4x=20, you get 20=20, which is a true statement, so this choice is also correct. You could also solve to prove x equals 5 in this equation as well. Divide 20 by 4 and you get x=5.
