1) A. Add/subtract a quantity to/from only one side
2) B. No
Step-by-step explanation:
Question (rewritten)
Answer two questions about Equations A and B:
- A. 5x-2+x = x-4
- B. 5x+x = x-4
1) How can we get Equation B from Equation A?
- A. Add/subtract a quantity to/from only one side
- B. Add/subtract the same quantity to/from both sides
- C. Rewrite one side (or both) using the distributive property
- D. Rewrite one side (or both) by combining like terms
2) Based on the previous answer, are the equations equivalent? In other words, do they have the same solution?
- A. Yes
- B. No
=================================
Solution
1) As we see left sides of the equations are different but right sides are same.
To make them equal we need to remove the difference.
- Equation A. 5x -2 +x = x -4
- Equation B. 5x + x = x- 4
We need to add 2 to the left side of equation A to get Equation B.
The answer choice for this case is:
- A. Add/subtract a quantity to/from only one side
2) Since the equations are not same, they will have different solutions.
Answer choice is:
- B. No
Equivalent equations are equations that have the same value.
- Add/subtract a quantity to/from only one side to get equation B from A
- Both equations are not equivalent
The equations are given as:
[tex]A:\ 5x-2+x = x-4[/tex]
[tex]B: 5x+x = x-4[/tex]
(a) How to get equation (B) from (A)
By comparing equations (A) and (B), we have the following observations
- The right-hand side of both equations are the same
- The difference between the left-hand side of the equations is -2.
This means that, only the left-hand side of equation A will be altered to get equation B.
Hence, the solution is:
A. Add/subtract a quantity to/from only one side
(b) Are they equivalent?
No, they are not.
This is so, because only one side of equation A is altered to get equation B.
