[tex]\text{Are the equations -2x = 10 \& -5x = 25 equivalent?}[/tex]
[tex]\text{-2x = 10}[/tex]
[tex]\text{DIVIDE both sides by -2}[/tex]
[tex]\bf{\dfrac{-2x}{-2} = \dfrac{10}{-2}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Cancel out \dfrac[-2x}{-2} because it gives 1}[/tex][tex]\text{Cancel out:}\ \bf\dfrac{-2x}{-2} \text{ because it gives you 1}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Keep:} \bf{\dfrac{10}{-2}}\text{ because it gives you the result of x}[/tex]
[tex]\bf{\dfrac{10}{-2} = -10\div2 \rightarrow -5}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\underline{\text{\bf{x = -5}}}}\checkmark[/tex]
[tex]\text{-5x = 25}[/tex]
[tex]\text{DIVIDE both sides by -5}[/tex]
[tex]\bf{\dfrac{-5x}{-5}= \dfrac{25}{-5}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Cancel out:}\ \bf{\dfrac{-5x}{-5}}\text{ because it gives you 1}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Keep:}\ \bf{\dfrac{25}{-5}}\ \text{ because it gives you the result of x }[/tex]
[tex]\bf{\dfrac{-25}{5} = -25 \div 5 \rightarrow -5 }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\underline{\bf{x = -5}}}\checkmark[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\text{To answer your question: \boxed{\bf{YES}} because both x's equal to -5}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}[/tex]
