Question

Answer two questions about Equations A and B:A.5x = 20B.x = 41) How can we get Equation B from Equation A?Choose 1 answer:Multiply/divide both sides by the same non-zeroconstantMultiply/divide both sides by the same variableexpressionAdd/subtract the same quantity to/from both sides0 Add/subtract a quantity to/from only one side2) Based on the previous answer, are the equationsequivalent? In other words, do they have the samesolution?Choose 1 answer:A) YesNo

Answer 1

We have that A = 5B, so the answer for the first question is: A Multiply/divide both sides by the same non-zero constant.

For the second we have that in B x= 4, and in A

$\begin{gathered} 5x=20 \\ x=\frac{20}{5} \\ x\text{ = 4} \end{gathered}$

So, the answer is A yes.
