In other words, do they have the samesolutionChoose 1 answersYesNo

Answer 1

• (C)Multiply/divide both sides by the same non-zero constant

,

• Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

Given Equation A:

`3\mleft(x+2\mright)=18`

Divide both sides by the same non-zero constant (3):

`\begin{gathered} (3\mleft(x+2\mright))/(3)=(18)/(3) \\ x+2=6 \end{gathered}`

This is equation B.

The correct choice is C.

Part 2

The equations are equivalent since they will give the same result.
