Question

Answer two questions about Equations A and B:

A. 3x – 1= 7
B. Зx=8
1) How can we get Equation B from Equation A?

Answer 1

1. c) Add/ Subtract the same quantity to/from both sides

2) Yes

Explanation:

Answer two questions about Equations A and B:

A. 3x – 1= 7

B. Зx = 8

1) To get Equation B from Equation A we need to take the following steps

A. 3x – 1 = 7

We add one to both sides

3x - 1 + 1 = 7 + 1

3x - 0 = 8

3x = 8

Option c is the correct option.

2) We are given Equations:

A. 3x – 1= 7

B. Зx = 8

3x - 1 = 7 = 3x = 8

3x = 7 + 1 = 3x = 8

3x = 8 = 3x = 8

Therefore, we can say, Yes, Equation A is equivalent to Equation B, hence they have the same solution.
