Answer 1

Answers:

B

C

E

Explanation:

Answer B, C, and E are equivalent to the original, which are all created by rewriting fractions in a different ways.

Answer 2

Option 'b' and 'e' are equivalent.

Explanation:

Given : Expression
`-(1)/(4)x+(3)/(4)=12`

To find : Which equations are equivalent to expression ?

Solution :

a)
`-(4x)/(1)+(3)/(4)=12`

It is not equivalent.

b)
`-(x)/(4)+(3)/(4)=12`

It is equivalent.

c)
`(x+3)/(4)=12`

It is not equivalent.

d)
`(1)/(4)(x+3)=12`

It is not equivalent.

e)
`(-x)/(4)+(3)/(4)=12`

It is equivalent.
