Question

Tonya wrote the equation below which solves for x.

x = 150 minus 6 y

Which equation is equivalent to Tonya’s equation?
x + 150 = 6 y
x + 6y = 150
2x + 3y = 75
2 x minus 3 y = 75

Answer 1

x+6y = 150 (B)

Explanation:

Answer 2

Given parameters:

x = 150 minus 6 y

Interpreting this gives;

minus = subtraction = -

x = 150 - 6y

Now bring the variables together;

x + 6y = 150

The option that matches with this equivalent.

The other choices are wrong;

a, x + 150 = 6 y

x - 6y = 150 wrong

c. 2x + 3y = 75 mulitply through by 2;

2(2x + 3y) = 2(75)

4x + 6y = 150 wrong

d. 2x - 3y = 75

Multiply by 2;

2(2x -3y) = 2(75)

4x - 6y = 150
