Question

2x+7=27 and 3x+1=28 does 2x+7= 3x+1

Answer 1

Assuming that you are asking this :

Does 2x + 7 = 27 equal 3x + 1 = 28 ? 

Let's first solve for 2x + 7 = 27

2x + 7 = 27

Subtract 7 from both sides.

2x = 27 - 7

Simplify.

2x = 20

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 10

Then, solve for 3x + 1 = 28

3x + 1 = 28

Subtract both sides by 1.

3x = 28 - 1

Simplify.

3x = 27

Divide both sides by 3.

x = 9

10 ≠ 9 therefore, 2x + 7 ≠ 3x + 1

Answer 2

Hey there!

2x + 7 = 27
2x = 20
x = 10

3x + 1 = 28
3x = 27
x = 9

The values for both of these equations are 9 and 10; therefore, the answers are not equivalent.

I hope this helps!
