4x−3=16=4(x−3)=16 <br> Do they have the same solution?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

4x -3 = 16

x=19/4

4(x-3) = 16: Distribute the number in the parenthesis with 4 and you get:

4x-12=16

x=7

4x-12=16 is not the same as 4x-3=16

Therefore they do not have the same solution.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

4, 22  See below

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 30

5x + y = 42

Subtract the first from the second

3x = 12

x = 4 so socks cost $4

Put that into one of the original equations

2x + y = 30

2(4) + y = 30

8 + y = 30

y = 22 slippers cost $22
