VALID ANSWERS NEEDED! Answer two questions about Equations A and B:
A. + 1 = -3
B. x + 4 = -12
1) How can we get Equation B from equation A?
Choose 1
A
Rewrite one side (or both) using the distributive property
B
Rewrite one side (or both) by combining like terms
C
Multiply/divide only one side by a non-zero constant
D
Multiply/divide both sides by the same non-zero constant
2) Based on the previous answer, are the equations equivalent? In other words, do they have the same solution?
a: yes
b: no

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
