Question

Leila puts an integer into the "In" box of each machine.

Answer 1

The machines represent equivalent expressions.

The output produced by both machines is 372

The equation represented on machine A is:

$\mathbf{y = 2(5x + 3) - 24}$

The equation represented on machine B is:

$\mathbf{y = 4(2(x + 11) - 7)}$

Where: x and y represent the inputs and the outputs, respectively

When the outputs are the same, it means:

$\mathbf{y = y}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{2(5x + 3) - 24 = 4(2(x + 11) - 7)}$

Open brackets

$\mathbf{10x + 6 - 24 = 8x + 88 - 28}$

$\mathbf{10x - 18 = 8x + 60}$

Collect like terms

$\mathbf{10x - 8x = 18 + 60}$

$\mathbf{2x = 78 }$

Divide both sides by 2

$\mathbf{x = 39 }$

Substitute 39 for x in $\mathbf{y = 2(5x + 3) - 24}$

$\mathbf{y = 2 \times (5 \times 39 + 3) - 24}$

$\mathbf{y = 372}$

Hence, the output produced by both machines is 372
