Question

The solution to 2x - 5 = 27 is also a solution of which of the following equations? 3 x - 2 = 31 3 + 5 x = 58 27 - 2 x = 5 2 x + 3 = 35

Answer 1

2x + 3 = 35

Explanation:

2x - 5 = 27, x = 16

2x - 5 = 27 - add 5

2x = 32 - divide by 2

x = 16

the only other equation x = 16 is 2x + 3 = 35

x = 16

2* 16 = 32 + 3 = 35

Answer 2

2x + 3 = 35

Explanation:

in the equation 2x - 5 = 27, x = 16

2x - 5 = 27 (add 5)

2x = 32 ( divide by 2)

x = 16

the only other equation in which x = 16 is 2x + 3 = 35

x = 16

2* 16 = 32 + 3 = 35
