5,000
is 300 closer to 100 or 1000?
or
is 3 closer to 1 or 10?
If you were to make both x's equivalent, you'd have to multiply the first equation by 2 to get rid of the coefficient, 1/2. However, you'd have to multiply 2 onto -8 as well, therefore the equation would turn into x - 16 = 18. That is not equivalent to x - 8 = 18.
I don't understand, could you explain further?
