Equivalent or Not?
Sarah thinks that the following
expressions are equivalent:
2x + 3 = x/2 + 4
Is she correct? If so, prove that these
two expressions are equivalent. If not,
explain what errors she made.

Answer 1

equivalent

Explanation:

2x + 3 = x/2 + 4

2x - x/2 = 4 - 3

3x/2 = 1

x = 1 (2) / 3

x = 2/3

substitute the value of x=2/3 back into the equation:

2(2/3) + 3 = (2/3)/2 + 4

4/3 + 3 = 1/3 + 4

13/3 = 13/3 both are equal if x=2/3
