Answer two questions about Equations A and B: A. 2x-1=5x B. -1=3x 1) How can we get Equation B from Equation A? Choose 1 Add/subtract the same quantity to/from both sides Add/subtract a quantity to/from only one side Rewrite one side (or both) by combining like terms Rewrite one side (or both) using the distributive property NEXT QUESTION based on the previous answer, are the equations equivalent? In other words, do they have the same solution? A. Yes B. No

Rewrite one side by combining like terms.

A. Yes the equations are equivalent meaning they have the same solution.

Explanation:

In solving equations of such, the first procedure always is to collect like terms and when this is done in equation A it will give us something like this : -1=5x-2x, when we go further by subtracting 2x from 5x, it will give us an equation that looks exactly like equation B and when we solve each equation separately, we are going to have the same solution.
