Question

Answer two questions about Equations A and B: A=3(x+2)=18 B=x+2=6 1) How can we get Equation B from Equation A? do they have the same solution?

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

A:3(x+2)=18

Divide each side by 3

3/3(x+2)=18/3

x+2 = 6

This is the same equation as equation B

They will have the same solution since they are the same equation

x+2-2 = 6-2

x = 4

Answer 2

You need to multiply/divide both sides by the same constant- they're both equivalent as well.

Explanation:

You need to multiply/divide both sides by the same constant- they're both equivalent as well.

This is because solving it you get this

3(x+2)=18

3(x+2) over 3 = 18/3

x+2=6.

That's dividing by a non-zero constant (3).

Kind of new to this so I hope you can understand my answer-​
