Question

Hi I am helping my little sister with her math homework so if you could help me much would be appreciated. Thank you

Compare and Contrast: Below are two equations. Solve each equation and compare the two solutions. Choose the statement that is true about each solution.
Equation #1 Equation #2
6 - x = 5x + 30 4x - 8 = 3x + 2

Answer 1

hey kari post the statements also

Answer 2

None of the statements above describes solutions to equations shown.
The solution to equation #1 is smaller than the solution to equation #2.
The solution to equation #1 is the same as the solution to equation #2.
The solution to equation #1 is larger than the solution to equation #2.

Answer 3

solving the first equation 6-x=5x+30
bringing the x terms together
-6x=30-6
-6x=24
x=-6
now solving the second equation
4x-8=3x+2
x=10
so solution of first one is smaller than the second one's solution
second statement is the correct choice

Answer 4

sorry i made a mistake x=-4 in first one , answer remains unchanged , i apologise

Answer 5

Its all good so its the second statement. Thanks. Your really nice. I will give you a medal. (:
