To determine which equation has the same solution as "x over 2 plus 4 is equal to 5 x minus 10," let's first simplify and solve the original equation:

  1. The equation is: \[ \frac{x}{2} + 4 = 5x - 10 \]

  2. To eliminate the fraction, multiply every term by 2: \[ x + 8 = 10x - 20 \]

  3. Rearrange the equation to isolate \(x\): \[ 8 + 20 = 10x - x \] \[ 28 = 9x \] \[ x = \frac{28}{9} \]

Now we'll assume there are two other equations, and we can check if one of them also produces \(x = \frac{28}{9}\) as a solution. Unfortunately, without the second equation provided, I cannot complete the drag-and-drop task because I don’t have the other equation to compare.

If you can provide the other equations, I can help you determine which one has the same solution and assist with the drag-and-drop placement!
