7x =2(y+4)

7x-2y-8 and y= 7/2x -4

1) An equivalent number equation is an equation that has the same result on the right side.

In algebra, we can have equivalent equations by algebraic manipulation.

So for that:

7x-2y=8

We can say that, for example

7x =2(y+4) Factoring out 2y and 4

7x-2y-8=0 Placing the 8 on the left side of the equation

and

y= 7/2x -4 Writing that on the Standard linear equation form, dividing by 2

are Equivalent equations.
