Answer:

No, they aren't the same (equivalent).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve for both equations:

<u>Equation #1</u>:  <em>6x-6=3x </em>

Simplifying

6x + -6 = 3x

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 6x = 3x

Solving

-6 + 6x = 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6x + -3x = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 6x + -3x = 3x

-6 + 3x = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

-6 + 3x = 0

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + 3x = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + 3x = 0 + 6

3x = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6

3x = 6

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 2

Simplifying

<h3><em>x = 2</em></h3>

<u>Equation #2</u><em>: </em><em>x-1=3x</em>

Simplifying

x + -1 = 3x

Reorder the terms:

-1 + x = 3x

Solving

-1 + x = 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

-1 + x + -3x = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: x + -3x = -2x

-1 + -2x = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

-1 + -2x = 0

Add '1' to each side of the equation.

-1 + 1 + -2x = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + 1

-2x = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1

-2x = 1

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -0.5

Simplifying

<h3><em>x = -0.5</em></h3>

Best explained and correct answer gets brainliest!!
Semmy [17]
The answer is D, here’s why:

You know the slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
mx being the slope and b being the y-intercept.

y=-4/7x + 9 is already in that form.

A is not the answer because the y is supposed to be by itself.
B is not the answer because again, the y is not by itself.
C is not the answer because the y is also not by itself.

In the slope-intercept form, the y must be by itself and the slope (mx) and the y-intercept must be on the other side.

Hope this helps.
