6z - 10 = 50, 2 (5z + 4) = 8x + 28, x/2 + 4 = 5x - 10, 5x/9 = 3

1 answer

To determine which two equations have the same solution, we can solve each equation and compare their solutions.

  1. Equation 1: \( 6z - 10 = 50 \)

    • Add 10 to both sides: \( 6z = 60 \)
    • Divide by 6: \( z = 10 \)
  2. Equation 2: \( 2(5z + 4) = 8x + 28 \)

    • Divide everything by 2: \( 5z + 4 = 4x + 14 \)
    • Subtract 4 from both sides: \( 5z = 4x + 10 \)
    • Solve for z: \( z = \frac{4x + 10}{5} \)
  3. Equation 3: \( \frac{x}{2} + 4 = 5x - 10 \)

    • Subtract \( \frac{x}{2} \) from both sides: \( 4 + 10 = 5x - \frac{x}{2} \)
    • Combine like terms: \( 14 = \frac{10x - x}{2} \) \( 28 = 9x \)
    • Divide by 9: \( x = \frac{28}{9} \)
  4. Equation 4: \( \frac{5x}{9} = 3 \)

    • Multiply both sides by 9: \( 5x = 27 \)
    • Divide by 5: \( x = \frac{27}{5} \)

Now, let's summarize the solutions:

  • \( z = 10 \) for Equation 1
  • \( z = \frac{4x + 10}{5} \) for Equation 2 (depends on \( x \))
  • \( x = \frac{28}{9} \) for Equation 3
  • \( x = \frac{27}{5} \) for Equation 4

From the analysis, it appears that:

  • Equation 1 (\( 6z - 10 = 50 \)) has a solution of \( z = 10 \).

Equation 3 and Equation 4 have different \( x \) solutions and don't provide the same \( z \) solution.

Thus, only Equation 2 can potentially match with Equation 1 depending on solving it for specific relations.

However, if we weren't looking at the forms too closely, we should note that the key on matching directly remains:

Final Pairing: To answer the question, we pair accordingly:

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

Drag as needed: Response input area has the same solution as \( 6z - 10 = 50 \)
Response input area \( 2 (5z + 4) = 8x + 28 \).
