Question

Determine whether or not the two equations below have the same solution. In two or more complete sentences, explain your rationale. x + = 8 8x = 87

Answer 1

Both of the equations have the same solution

Answer 2

Answer:

Both equations have the same solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question:

Determine whether or not the two equations below have the same solution. In two or more complete sentences, explain your rationale.

$\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{3}{4}=8...(1)$

$8x=87...(2)$

Let us solve our 1st equation as:

$\frac{2}{3}x\cdot 12+\frac{3}{4}\cdot 12=8\cdot 12$

$2x\cdot 4+3\cdot 3=96$

$8x+9=96$

$8x+9-9=96-9$

$8x=87$

Now, we can see that equation (1) turns out same as equation (2), therefore, both equations will have the same solution.
