Question

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

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

Answer 1

Answer 2

start with equation 1

6-x = 5x+30

add x to both sides, what do you get?

Answer 3

Eqn (1) 6 - x = 5x + 30 ==> 4x = - 24 ==> x = - 6
Eqn (2) 4x - 8 = 3x + 2 ==> x = 10
The solution to equation #1 is smaller than the solution to equation #2. is true

Answer 4

1x-x? idk

Answer 5

so A

Answer 6

correct

Answer 7

thnx :D
