Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to determine whether equations are equivalent or to solve for the unknown.
1. Which of the following equations is equivalent to 3x + 5 = 14?
3x = 9
x + 5 = 14
3x = 19
x = 14 - 5
2. Which operation transforms 2x - 7 = 11 into 2x = 18?
Subtract 7 from both sides
Add 7 to both sides
Multiply both sides by 7
Divide both sides by 7
3. To isolate the variable in the equation x/4 = 12, you would both sides by 4.
4. Equations that have the same solution are called equations.
5. The equation 5x = 20 is equivalent to x = 4.
True
False
6. Adding the same number to both sides of an equation results in an equivalent equation.
True
False
7. Write an equivalent equation for 2(x + 3) = 10 by distributing the 2.
8. Explain how you can check if two equations are equivalent.
9. The image below represents a balanced equation. If each circle on the left represents 'x' and each square on the right represents '1', write the algebraic equation represented by the scale and then an equivalent equation if you remove one circle and its corresponding balance from each side.
