Question

True or False. 3x+2y=18 is an equivalent equation to 1/2x+1/3y=3.

Answer 1

Let me try to make this simple for you..

As you can see, you have 18 for the first equation which is reduced to 3 in the 2nd equation..

If you divide 18 by 6, you'd get 3, so divide everything in the first equation by 6 and then reduce it to the smallest possible fraction you can to see if you get the same equation! :)
