Question

Select all the equations that have the same solution as 2x - 5 = 15

A
2x = 10
B
2x = 20
C С
2(x - 5) = 15
D
2x - 20 = 0
E
43 - 10 = 30
F 15 = 5 – 22

Answer 1

b) 2x = 20

c) 2(x - 5) = 15

D) 2x - 20 = 0

Explanation

2x - 5 = 15

2x = 15 + 5

2x = 20

x= 20/2

x= 10

a) 2x = 10

x= 10/2

x= 5 (which is not correct)

b) 2x = 20

x= 20/2

x = 10 (which is correct )

c) 2(x- 5) = 15

2x - 10 = 15.

2x = 15 +10

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x= 10 ( which is correct)

d) 2x - 20 = 0

2x = 20

x= 20/2

x= 10 ( which is correct)

Answer 2

Explanation:

2x - 5 = 15

Bringing like terms on one side

2x = 15 + 5

2x = 20

Option B is the correct answer
