Question

Below are two equations. Solve each equation and compare the two solutions. Choose the statement that is true about each solution.

Equation #1
7x - 14 = 6x + 2

Equation #2
7 - 2x = 5x + 21

anonymous · Answer

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

7x - 6x -14 = 2
7x-6x = 14 +2
x = 16


7-2x - 5x =21
-2x -5x = 21 -7
-7x = 14
x=-2


The first solution is larger, so (b)
