Answer:

Only options a ,b,d have the same solution as \frac{3}{5}x +\frac{2}{3}+x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An equation:  \frac{3}{5}x +\frac{2}{3}+x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x    ....[1]

Like terms states that contain the same variables raised to the same power.

Combine like terms on left hand side in equation [1] we get,

\frac{3}{5}x+x +\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x

\frac{8}{5}x +\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x

we get option (a) as the same solution.

Using LCM(Least Common ) to change each fraction to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator

Taking LCM both sides in Equation (1) ,

\frac{3}{5}x +\frac{2}{3}+x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x

As LCM(3,5)=15 and LCM(2,5)=10 we have,

\frac{9x+10+15x}{15}= \frac{5-2x}{10}

On simplifying we get,

10(9x+10+15x)= 15(5-2x)=

Dividing both sides by 5 we get,

\frac{10(9x+10+15x)}{5} =\frac{15(5-2x)}{5}

On simplify:

2(9x+10+15x)=3(5-2x)

∴ 18x+20+30x=15-6x

which is same solution as given in option (b).

Now,

Use Additive Property of Equality states that allows one to add the same quantity to both sides of an equation.

Further, using the above property add 6x both sides  in  18x+20+30x=15-6x we get,

18x+20+30x+6x=15-6x+6x

On simplifying we get,

18x+20+30x+6x=15

Subtract 20 from both the sides we get,

18x+20+30x+6x-20=15-20

Simplify:

18x+30x+6x=-5

or, 24x+30x=-5 which is same solution  as given in option(d)

But, options c and e equation doesn't have same solution as \frac{3}{5}x +\frac{2}{3}+x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}x

Korvikt [17]

When solving two step equations you must solve one part of the equation so that you can solve the second part.

In one step equations you can just solve the equation as is.

"the sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 12. The difference of the digits is 2. find the number if the units digit is lar
Stells [14]

let the number be xy then

x + y = 12

y - x = 2 ( because y > x)

adding we get 2y = 14 so y = 7

and x = 12 - 7 = 5

So the number is 57.
