Answer:

Multiple/divide both sides by the same variable expression.. No

Explanation:

In other words, in order to get Equation B from Equation A, we need to multiply/divide both sides by the same variable expression.

Since this is an action that doesn't preserve the solution, the two equations are not equivalent​
