In (A), we have 9 : 2.
Multiply by 2, we get 18 : 4
In (B), we have 36 : 8.
Divide by 2, we get, 18 : 4.
In (D), we have 54 : 12.
Divide by 3, we get, 18 : 4.
Hence, (C) is not equivalent to the given statement.
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
28−(3x+4)=2(x+6)+x
We need to use the distributive property for the right side.
28−3x−4=(2)(x)+(2)(6)+x)
28−3x−4=2x+2+x
−3x+24=3x+12
From here we need to subtract 3x from both side.
−3x+24−3x=3x+12−3x
6x+24=12
Transfer +24 on the right side.
6x=12−24
6x=−12
Finally, divide both sides by −6
6x/-6 = -12/-6
x=2
