Question

. Here is an equation 2x + 9 = -15. Write three different equations that have the same solution as 2x + 9 = -15. Show or explain how you found them.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. $x-3=-15$
2.$2x=-24$
3.$2x-3=-27$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$2x+9=-15$

To find three equations that have the same solution as the given equation we have to first solve the equation.

$2x+9=-15$
$9-9=0$
$-15-9=-24$
$2x=-24$
$2x\div2=x$
$-24\div2=-12$
$x=-12$

Equation one:
$x-3=-15$
$-3+3=0$
$-15+3=-12$
$x=-12$

Equation two:
$2x=-24$
$2x\div2=x$
$-24\div2=-12$
$x=-12$

Equation three:
$2x-3=-27$
$-3+3=0$
$-27+3=-24$
$-24\div2=-12$
$x=-12$

Hope this helps.
