Question

Which of the following equations is equivalent to 1/4x - 1/2y = 8?


2x - 4y = 8
2x - 4y = 64
4x - 2y = 64


C??

Answer 1

None of those.

Here's some that are:
2x - 2y = 16
4x - 4y = 32
8x - 8y = 64

Answer 2

those werent my choices

Answer 3

Well, that was my first comment. You need more choices or a "None of the Above". The choices given are absolutely NOT equivalent.

Answer 4

THOSE ARE NOT THE CHOICES THE ONES ARE GAVE ARE THE ONLY ONES

Answer 5

WAIT!!! that looks different... it said x-y=8... now it has a fraction

Answer 6

What are you not understanding. None of the answers given is equivalent. There is nothing you or I can do about it. Sometimes questions are written incorrectly. Let's get over it and move on, shall we?

A: No.
B: No.
C: No.

Where does that leave us? It leaves us with the next problem.

You could check to see if you copied the problem correctly. That could be the problem.

Answer 7

how do you get to 64 from 8?

Answer 8

as in 64/8-?

Answer 9

LOOOOK AT THE PROBLEM AGAIN AND MAYBE MAYBE YOU GOT IT WRONG

Answer 10

STOP SCREAMING if you want help you need to be considerate

Answer 11

its -3

Answer 12

IM NOT SCREAMING MY BUTTONS ARE STICKY

Answer 13

Answer 14

ok then get off caps lock since it wasnt like that in the beginning...

Answer 15

I CANT IT WILL GO AWAY IN A WHILE THE BUTTONS ARE STICKY.....SORRY

Answer 16

what you need to do is find out how many 8's go into 64 .... then multiply that number why the entire equztion... you will get it then

Answer 17

Ah, I see we now have a new problem statement, rather than the x - y = 8 where we started. Very good. The correct problem statement often provides better solutions that the wrong one.

1/4x - 1/2y = 8

So much better. Multiply by 4

x - 2y = 32

Nope. Multiply by 2

2x - 4y = 64

There it is!!!!!! Looks like "B"! Yea.

Answer 18

but i will agree when i first read the i saw x-y=8 ... in which case non of them did apply...
