Equivalent Equations
The variable needs to be isolated on one side of an equation in order to solve the equation. This can be achieved by undoing
certain operations using inverse operations.
Concept
Inverse Operations
Inverse operations are two operations that undo one another. For example, adding 6 and subtracting 6 are inverse operations because they cancel each other out. This means that adding 6 to any number and then subtracting 6 results in the original number. &10 + 6 - 6 &10 + 6 - 6 &10 Equations are solved by using inverse operations. By the Properties of Equality, any operation performed on one side of an equation must also be performed on the other side of the equation to maintain equality. Consider an example. x-4=9 This equation can be solved by adding 4 to both sides.
In this case, the subtraction on the left-hand side of the equation can only be eliminated by adding 4 on both sides. The result of applying the Properties of Equality on an equation is an equivalent equation.Concept
Equivalent Equation
Two equations are called equivalent equations if they have the same solution. Equations are often solved by applying the Properties of Equality. Each time a property is applied, an equivalent equation is produced. Consider the following equation. y + 3 = 18 To solve this equation, 3 must be subtracted from both sides.
y + 3 = 18
SubEqn
LHS- 3=RHS- 3
y + 3 - 3= 18 - 3
Simplify left-hand side
y + 3 - 3=18-3

Addition and Subtraction Properties of Equality
Some of the most commonly used inverse operations are addition and subtraction. These operations fall under the Addition Property of Equality and the Subtraction Property of Equality.
Rule
Addition Property of Equality
Adding the same number to both sides of an equation results in an equivalent equation. Let a, b, and c be real numbers.
If a = b, then a + c = b + c.
The Addition Property of Equality is an axiom, so it does not need a proof. This property is one of the Properties of Equality that can be used when solving equations. Consider an example. x-3=5 By adding 3 to both sides of the equation, the variable x can be isolated and the solution to the equation can be found.
Rule
Subtraction Property of Equality
Subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation results in an equivalent equation. Let a, b, and c be real numbers.
If a = b, then a - c = b - c.
The Subtraction Property of Equality is an axiom, so it does not need a proof. This property is one of the Properties of Equality that can be used when solving equations. Consider an example. x+2=7 By subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation, the variable x can be isolated and the solution to the equation can be found.

Doing the Dishes Together
Diego and his younger brother continued to talk about their college football dreams. Their abuelo — grandpa — overheard their dream and told them a little secret. He was a college football player! More importantly, he said he had to wash dishes to help pay for college.
Diego's abuelo showed Diego a photo of him doing dishes at home after his playing days were long over. Diego becomes more curious about washing dishes than any football dreams. He asks his abuelo two questions about the night the picture was taken.
- How many plates were washed?
- How long did it take to finish the dishes?
Diego's abuelo really wants to help Diego with math. He writes two equations whose solutions are the answers to Diego's questions. Find the answers to the questions by solving the equations.

Hint
a Use the Addition Property of Equality.
b Use the Subtraction Property of Equality.
Solution
a The variable p must be isolated to solve the equation. On the left-hand side 5 is subtracted from p. This subtraction can be
undoneby adding 5 to both sides by the Addition Property of Equality.
That night, 8 plates were washed.
b This time, the variable m has to be isolated. Notice that 9 is added to m. To
undothis addition, subtract 9 from both sides by using the Subtraction Property of Equality.
m+9=14
SubEqn
LHS- 9=RHS- 9
m+9 - 9=14 - 9
Simplify left-hand side
m + 9- 9=14-9

Writing Equations
Some real-life situations can be algebraically modeled by equations. A critical step in doing this is to represent an unknown quantity with a variable. Consider the following situation.
|
In Diego's class, a certain number of people became sick and missed math class. There were 19 people present in class, and Diego's class has 24 people in total. |
Here, the unknown quantity is the number of people who became sick. It can be represented by the variable x. In order to write an equation, a verbal statement needs to be translated into an algebraic expression including a number and an equals sign. The sum of the number of people who fell sick and the number of people who were present is equal to the total number of people in the class. ⇓ x + 19 = 24 The equation can now be solved to find the number x of people in Diego's class who fell sick. Use the Subtraction Property of Equality.
Recall that x represents the number of people who became sick. This means it can be concluded that 5 people in Diego's class became sick.

Connecting Math to the Real World
Diego's abuleo gets a great deal of delight from seeing Diego so interested in math.
However, he realized that Diego is having some issues with connecting math to the real world. For this reason, he told Diego that he will buy some snacks and sodas to share if Diego can answer the following question.
|
Some snacks and a few sodas cost, in total, $ 13. If the sodas cost $ 7, how much money is spent on snacks? |
a Write an equation in terms of x to represent the situation.

Hint
a Assign a variable to the unknown quantity. In this case, the unknown quantity is the cost of the snacks.
b Use the Subtraction Property of Equality.
c What does the variable represent?
Solution
a The first thing to do when writing an equation from a verbal description is to assign a variable to the unknown quantity. The given statement is equivalent to the following sentence.
The sum of the money spent on snacks and7 is equal to 13. If x is the amount of money spent on the snacks, the equation can be written by following this statement. x+7 = 13
b Isolate the x-variable on one side of the equation to solve the equation. Since 7 is added to x, use the Subtraction Property of Equality.
x+7=13
SubEqn
LHS- 7=RHS- 7
x+7 - 7=13 - 7
Simplify left-hand side
x + 7 - 7=13-7

Modelling Cycling Distance With an Equation
Diego's abuelo remembered Diego's goal to become a college football player. He felt so guilty about giving Diego so much junk food! He thinks he should teach Diego about a healthy and active lifestyle. He tells Diego about how he rode his bicycle everyday when he was young. 
Again, Diego's abuelo wanted to give his grandson a math problem about his own history. Diego, when I was young I rode so much you wouldn't believe it. In fact, the difference between the number of kilometers I used to ride and 9 is equal to 3.
a Write an equation in terms of x to represent the situation.

Hint
a Assign a variable to the unknown quantity. In this case, the unknown quantity is the number of kilometers Diego's granddad used to cycle per day.
b Use the Addition Property of Equality.
c What does the variable represent?
Solution
a Begin by assigning a variable to the unknown quantity when writing an equation from a verbal description. Let x be the number of kilometers that Diego's abuelo cycled. Then, breakdown the given statement.
The difference between the number of kilometers I used to bike and 9 is equal to 3. ⇓ x - 9 = 3
b Isolate the x-variable on one side of the equation to solve it. Notice that 9 is subtracted from x. That means the Addition Property of Equality can be used.
c Recall that x represents the number of kilometers that Diego's abuelo cycled every day. Again, note what x equals. Since x=12, this means that Diego's abuelo cycled 12 kilometers every day.
x=12 ⇓ He cycled 12kilometers every day.

We are asked to choose all the equations that are equivalent to the given equation a - 8 = 5. Two equations are equivalent if they have the same solutions. a - 9 &= 4 a + 2 &= 15 a - 8 &= 4 a - 6 &= 2 By the Addition and Subtraction Properties of Equality, adding or subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation results in an equivalent equation. We can use these properties to show that two equations are equivalent by transforming one into the other.
Equation I: a - 9 = 4
Consider the equation a-9=4. There is a - 9 on the left-hand side. This expression is equivalent to a - 8 - 1. Let's take the given equation a-8=5 and subtract 1 from each side. In other words, we will apply the Subtraction Property of Equality.
Subtracting 1 from each side of the equation a - 8 = 1 results in the equation a - 9 = 4. This means that a - 8 = 5 and a - 9 = 4 are equivalent equations.
Equation II: a +2 = 15
Next, we will consider the equation a + 2 = 15. Note that a + 2 is equivalent to a - 8 + 10. Then, we can take the given equation a - 8 = 5 and add 10 to each side. Let's do it!
This action results in the equation a + 2 = 15. Therefore a-8 = 5 and a + 2 = 15 are equivalent equations by the Addition Property of Equality.
Equation III: a-8=4
Let's consider the next equation, a - 8 = 4. It is not possible for a - 8 to be equal to 5 and 4 at the same time. Given:& a-8= 5 Considered:& a-8= 4 This means that these equations have different solutions. Therefore, they are not equivalent equations.
Equation IV: a - 6 = 2
Finally, let's consider the equation a - 6 = 2. The left-hand side a - 6 is equivalent to a - 8 + 2. Let's add 2 to each side of the equation a - 8 = 5. We want to check if we will get the equation we are considering.
The equations a - 8 = 5 and a - 6 = 7 are equivalent. That is the case because of the Addition Property of Equality. However, there is a 2 instead of a 7 on the right-hand side of our equation. a - 6 = 2 a - 6 = 7 These two equations have different solutions. This means that they are not equivalent equations. Therefore, a - 6 = 2 and a - 8 = 5 are not equivalent equations either.
Conclusion
We found that two of the given equations, a-9=4 and a+2=15, are equivalent to the equation a-8=5.
We are asked to choose all the equations that are equivalent to the given equation x - 1 = 7.
x + 3 &= 2
x+2 &= 10
x-4 &= 4
x+5 &= - 2
Remember that two equations are equivalent when they have the same solutions. We can check if two equations are equivalent by solving them and comparing their solutions. First, let's solve the given equation.
x - 1 = 7
Here, 1 is subtracted from the variable x. We isolate the variable on one side of the equation by undoing
the operations applied to the variable using inverse operations. The inverse operation of subtraction is addition, so we use the Addition Property of Equality to add 1 to both sides of the equation.
The solution to the given equation is x = 8. Now, let's solve the remaining equations, starting with x + 3 = 2. Here, 3 is added to the variable. Then, we will use the Subtraction Property of Equality to subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
We use the same method to solve the remaining equations.
| Equation | Solution |
|---|---|
| x+3=2 | x = - 1 |
| x + 2 = 10 | x = 8 |
| x -4 = 4 | x = 8 |
| x + 5 = - 2 | x = - 7 |
We can see that two equations have the same solution as the given equation: x + 2 = 10 and x - 4 = 4. This means that only these two equations are equivalent to the given equation.

We are asked to choose all the equations that are equivalent to the given equation x + 2 = 10. x + 6 &= 14 x + 2 &= 11 x + 1 &= 9 x + 3 &= 12 Two equations are equivalent if they have the same solutions. By the Addition and Subtraction Properties of Equality, adding or subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation results in an equivalent equation. We can use this to show that two equations are equivalent by transforming one into the other.
Equation I: x + 6 = 14
Consider the equation x+6=14. There is x + 6 on the left-hand side. Note that this is equivalent to x + 2 +4. Let's take the given equation x+2=10 and add 4 to each side. In other words, we will apply the Addition Property of Equality.
Adding 4 to each side of the equation x + 2 = 10 results in the equation x + 6 = 14. This means that the equations x + 2 = 10 and x + 6 = 14 are equivalent equations.
Equation II: x+2=11
Let's consider the next equation, x + 2 = 11. It is not possible for x + 2 to be equal to 11 and 10 at the same time. Given:& x+2= 10 Considered:& x+2= 11 This means that these equations have different solutions. Therefore, they are not equivalent equations.
Equation III: x +1 = 9
Next, we will consider the equation x + 1 = 9. Note that x + 1 is equal to x + 2 - 1. Then, we can take the given equation x + 2 = 10 and subtract 1 from each side. Let's do it!
This action results in the equation x + 1 = 9. Therefore x+2 = 10 and x + 1 = 9 are equivalent equations by the Subtraction Property of Equality.
Equation IV: x+3=12
Finally, let's consider the equation x + 3 = 12. The left-hand side x + 3 is equal to x + 2 + 1. Let's add 1 to each side of the equation x + 2 = 10. We want to check if we will get the equation we are considering.
Thanks to the Addition Property of Equality, we can note that the equations x +2 = 10 and x + 3 = 11 are equivalent. Wait a minute! It is 12 and not 11 on the right-hand side of our equation. This makes things a bit more fun. Let's take a closer look. x + 3 = 12 x + 3 = 11 These two equations have different solutions. This means that they are not equivalent equations. Therefore, x+3=12 and x+2=10 are not equivalent equations either.
Conclusion
We found that two of the given equations, x+6=14 and x+1=9, are equivalent to the equation x+2=10.
We are asked to choose all the equations that are equivalent to the given equation d + 8 = 1.
d + 3 &= 0
d+10 &= 11
d+7 &= 0
d+1 &= - 6
Two equations are equivalent when they have the same solutions. We can check if two equations are equivalent by solving them and comparing their solutions. Let's start by solving the given equation.
d + 8 = 1
Here, 8 is added to the variable d. We can isolate the variable on one side by undoing
the operations applied to the variable using inverse operations. The inverse operation of addition is subtraction, so we will subtract 8 from both sides of the equation using the Subtraction Property of Equality.
The solution to the given equation is d = - 7. Now, let's solve each of the remaining equations. Remember, when a number is added to the variable, we use the Subtraction Property of Equality to isolate the variable on one side.
| Equation | Apply Properties of Equality | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| d+3 = 0 | d + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3 | d = - 3 |
| d + 10 = 11 | d + 10 - 10 = 11 - 10 | d = 1 |
| d + 7 = 0 | d + 7 - 7 = 0 - 7 | d = - 7 |
| d + 1 = - 6 | d + 1 - 1 = - 6 - 1 | d = - 7 |
The equations d + 7 = 0 and d + 1 = - 6 have the same solution as the given equation. This means that these two equations are equivalent to the given equation. The remaining equations have different solutions, so they are not equivalent to the given equation.
