Which equation is equivalent to 11x - (2 - x) = 51?

Question

A.

B.

C.

D.

Answer 1

The equation can be rewritten as 11x - 2 + x = 51 or 12x - 2 = 51.

Adding 2 to both sides, we get 12x = 53.

Dividing both sides by 12, we get x = 53/12.

The equation equivalent to 11x - (2 - x) = 51 is D. 12x = 53.
