[tex]\huge\boxed{Answer\hookleftarrow}[/tex]

Take the 1st equation & solve it :-

[tex]3x - 1 = 7 \\ 3x = 7 + 1 \\ 3x = 8[/tex]

Now, take the second equation :-

[tex]3x = 8[/tex]

[You can't further solve this equation]

So, from the 2 solved equations we can see that,

[tex]\large\bold{3x = 8 \ is \ equivalent \ (=) \ 3x = 8 }[/tex]

The answer will be Yes, 3x – 1= 7 and 3x = 8 are equivalent to each other.
