Study the equation below.
25=2x+3
Which equation has the same solution?
Answers:
A. 28=2x
B. 22=2x
C. 50=x+3
D. 25/2=x+3
My answer is B. 22=2x. Please check if I am right. Thank you!
Right again!
can someone explain it step by step cuz im supposed to show my work
25 = 2x + 3
-3 -3
22 = 2x
To find which equation has the same solution as the given equation 25=2x+3, we need to solve the given equation first.
1. Start by isolating the variable term (2x) on one side of the equation. Subtract 3 from both sides:
25 - 3 = 2x + 3 - 3
22 = 2x
Now, we have determined that the solution to the given equation is x=11.
Now, let's check each answer choice to see which one has the same solution (x=11).
A. 28=2x
If we substitute x=11, we get 28 = 2(11) = 22. This is incorrect because 28 is not equal to 22.
B. 22=2x
If we substitute x=11, we get 22 = 2(11) = 22. This is correct.
C. 50=x+3
If we substitute x=11, we get 50 = 11 + 3 = 14. This is incorrect because 50 is not equal to 14.
D. 25/2=x+3
If we substitute x=11, we get 25/2 = 11 + 3 = 14. This is incorrect because 25/2 is not equal to 14.
Therefore, the equation B. 22=2x has the same solution as the given equation. Your answer is correct!
