Answer:
No, they aren't the same (equivalent).
Step-by-step explanation:
First, solve for both equations:
<u>Equation #1</u>: <em>6x-6=3x </em>
Simplifying
6x + -6 = 3x
Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6x = 3x
Solving
-6 + 6x = 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6x + -3x = 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 6x + -3x = 3x
-6 + 3x = 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
-6 + 3x = 0
Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + 3x = 0 + 6
Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 3x = 0 + 6
3x = 0 + 6
Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
3x = 6
Divide each side by '3'.
x = 2
Simplifying
<h3><em>x = 2</em></h3>
<u>Equation #2</u><em>: </em><em>x-1=3x</em>
Simplifying
x + -1 = 3x
Reorder the terms:
-1 + x = 3x
Solving
-1 + x = 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
-1 + x + -3x = 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: x + -3x = -2x
-1 + -2x = 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
-1 + -2x = 0
Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + -2x = 0 + 1
Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -2x = 0 + 1
-2x = 0 + 1
Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
-2x = 1
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -0.5
Simplifying
<h3><em>
x = -0.5</em></h3>
