Use drag and drop to place the two equations below that have the same solution.(1 point)

Response area has the same solution as
2(5x+4)=8x+28
5x/9 =3
6x-10=50
x/2 +4=5x-10

1 answer

To determine which of the equations have the same solution, we can solve each equation.

  1. Equation: \(2(5x + 4) = 8x + 28\)

    • Distribute: \(10x + 8 = 8x + 28\)
    • Subtract \(8x\) from both sides: \(2x + 8 = 28\)
    • Subtract \(8\) from both sides: \(2x = 20\)
    • Divide by \(2\): \(x = 10\)
  2. Equation: \(\frac{5x}{9} = 3\)

    • Multiply both sides by \(9\): \(5x = 27\)
    • Divide by \(5\): \(x = \frac{27}{5}\)
  3. Equation: \(6x - 10 = 50\)

    • Add \(10\) to both sides: \(6x = 60\)
    • Divide by \(6\): \(x = 10\)
  4. Equation: \(\frac{x}{2} + 4 = 5x - 10\)

    • Subtract \(4\) from both sides: \(\frac{x}{2} = 5x - 14\)
    • Multiply both sides by \(2\): \(x = 10x - 28\)
    • Subtract \(10x\) from both sides: \(-9x = -28\)
    • Divide by \(-9\): \(x = \frac{28}{9}\)

Solutions Summary:

  • \(2(5x + 4) = 8x + 28\) -> \(x = 10\)
  • \(\frac{5x}{9} = 3\) -> \(x = \frac{27}{5}\)
  • \(6x - 10 = 50\) -> \(x = 10\)
  • \(\frac{x}{2} + 4 = 5x - 10\) -> \(x = \frac{28}{9}\)

The equations that have the same solution are:

  • \(2(5x + 4) = 8x + 28\)
  • \(6x - 10 = 50\)

So the correct drag-and-drop placement for the response area is:

  • has the same solution as:
    • \(2(5x + 4) = 8x + 28\)
    • \(6x - 10 = 50\)
