To check if the expressions are equivalent, start from the base equation


a+3b=5c-9

now, the possible options are the equations cleared for a, b, 5, and 3.

clear for all the possible ones and check which of them is not correct

For a


a=5c-9-3b

for b


\begin{gathered} 3b=5c-9-a \\ b=(5c-9-a)/(3) \end{gathered}

for 5


\begin{gathered} a+3b+9=5c \\ (a+3b+9)/(c)=5 \end{gathered}

for 3


\begin{gathered} 3b=5c-9-a \\ 3=(5c-9-a)/(b) \end{gathered}

According to the possible optiones the equation that is not equivalent is option B because it is been multiplied by -1/3 and it must be just a 1/3
