Let's analyze each equation:

Equation A: \[ 3(4 - 5h) - 7 = -12 + 2h \]

First, simplify the left side: \[ 3(4) - 3(5h) - 7 = 12 - 15h - 7 = 5 - 15h \] Now simplify the right side: \[ -12 + 2h \] Now, set the two sides equal: \[ 5 - 15h = -12 + 2h \] Add \(15h\) to both sides: \[ 5 = -12 + 17h \] Add \(12\) to both sides: \[ 17 = 17h \] Divide by \(17\): \[ h = 1 \]

Equation B: \[ 2(p - 3) - 1 = 6p + 14 \]

Simplify the left side: \[ 2p - 6 - 1 = 2p - 7 \] Set the two sides equal: \[ 2p - 7 = 6p + 14 \] Subtract \(2p\) from both sides: \[ -7 = 4p + 14 \] Subtract \(14\) from both sides: \[ -21 = 4p \] Divide by \(4\): \[ p = -\frac{21}{4} \]

Equation C: From your writing, Equation C seems unclear, I will assume it's meant to be a different equation. Please provide the correct form of Equation C if it differs; however, to proceed with the assumption, I'll solve it as:

Assuming Equation C: \[ 0 - 3 + 8 = -1 \]

Which simplifies to: \[ 8 - 3 = -1 \text{ (This is incorrect)} \] This equation does not hold true, so I could not find a solution here.

To summarize:

  • Equation A has a solution \(h = 1\).
  • Equation B has a solution \(p = -\frac{21}{4}\).
  • Equation C does not have a solution.

Final Verification of Claims:

  • Tamara says A and C are the same: Incorrect.
  • Payton says B and C are the same: Incorrect.
  • Krish says all three are the same: Incorrect.
  • Haruki says none have the same solution: Correct.

Thus, Haruki is the only correct person regarding the linear equations.
