What similarities do the equations have?
x-6=5
To begin, we will name the equations.
| Name | Equation |
|---|---|
| A | 8=x/2 |
| B | 3 = x ÷ 4 |
| C | x-6=5 |
| D | x/3=9 |
Notice that Equations A and D contain a fraction, Equation B contains division, and Equation C contains subtraction. Fractions are one way to represent division. x2 = x divided by 2 This means that Equations A and D actually contain division. Since Equation C is the only equation that does not contain division, it does not belong.
