Equation A is not equivalent to equation B because the value of 'x' in equation A is -7 and the value of 'x' in equation B is 7 and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations.
Given :
Equation A -- 13 - 5x = 48
Equation B -- 5x = 35
Find the value of 'x' in the given equation A and equation B in order to determine the equation are equivalent or not.
The following steps can be used to determine the value of 'x' in both equation A and equation B:
Step 1 - First solve equation A in order to determine the value of 'x'.
[tex]5x =13-48[/tex]
5x = -35
x = -7
Step 2 - Now, solve the equation B in order to determine the value of 'x'.
5x = 35
x = 7
From the above steps, it can be concluded that equation A is not equivalent to equation B because the value of 'x' in equation A is -7 and the value of 'x' in equation B is 7.
