To determine who is correct about the solution sets of the given equations, we will solve each equation step by step.

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

  1. Distributing: \(12 - 15h - 7 = -12 + 2h\)

  2. Simplifying: \(5 - 15h = -12 + 2h\)

  3. Moving terms involving \(h\) to one side and constants to the other: \(5 + 12 = 15h + 2h\) \(17 = 17h\)

  4. Dividing both sides by 17: \(h = 1\)

Solution for Equation A: \(h = 1\)

Equation B: \(2(p - 3) - 1 = 6p + 142\)

  1. Distributing: \(2p - 6 - 1 = 6p + 142\)

  2. Simplifying: \(2p - 7 = 6p + 142\)

  3. Reorganizing: \(-7 - 142 = 6p - 2p\) \(-149 = 4p\)

  4. Dividing both sides by 4: \(p = -\frac{149}{4}\)

Solution for Equation B: \(p = -\frac{149}{4}\)

Equation C: \(23v - 3 + 83 = -1\)

  1. Combining like terms: \(23v + 80 = -1\)

  2. Moving 80 to the other side: \(23v = -1 - 80\) \(23v = -81\)

  3. Dividing by 23: \(v = -\frac{81}{23}\)

Solution for Equation C: \(v = -\frac{81}{23}\)

Summary of Solutions:

  • Equation A: \(h = 1\)
  • Equation B: \(p = -\frac{149}{4}\)
  • Equation C: \(v = -\frac{81}{23}\)

Now, Evaluating the Claims:

  • Tamara said Equation A and Equation C have the same solution: Incorrect (1 ≠ -81/23)
  • Payton said Equation B and Equation C have the same solution: Incorrect (-149/4 ≠ -81/23)
  • Krish said all three have the same solution: Incorrect
  • Haruki said that none of the equations have the same solution: Correct

Final Answer:

Haruki
