When are two equations equivalent?
Yes, see solution.
Two equations are equivalent
when they have the same solution. To determine if the given equations are equivalent, we will solve each one individually and then compare their solutions.
The solution to Equation 1 is x=- 5.
Now let's solve the second equation.
The solution to Equation 1 is also x=- 5. Since both equations have the same solution, we can conclude that the equations are equivalent.
