Q. Select all of the equations below that are equivalent to:\newline8c=138 - c = 13\newlineUse properties of equality.\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) 8c+5=188 - c + 5 = 18\newline(B) 8c+2=158 - c + 2 = 15\newline(C) 16c=9+1316 - c = 9 + 13\newline(D) 8c+3=158 - c + 3 = 15
  1. Analyze Equation: Step 11: Analyze the original equation and the choices given.\newlineOriginal equation: 8c=138 - c = 13.\newlineWe need to find which choices are equivalent to this by using properties of equality
  2. Check Choice (A): Step 22: Check choice (A) 8c+5=188 - c + 5 = 18. Add 55 to both sides of the original equation: (8c)+5=13+5(8 - c) + 5 = 13 + 5. Calculate: 18=1818 = 18. This choice is equivalent
  3. Check Choice (B): Step 33: Check choice (B)8c+2=15(B) 8 − c + 2 = 15. Add 22 to both sides of the original equation: (8c)+2=13+2(8 − c) + 2 = 13 + 2. Calculate: 15=1515 = 15. This choice is equivalent
  4. Check Choice (C): Step 44: Check choice (C) 16c=9+1316 - c = 9 + 13.\newlineThis simplifies to 16c=2216 - c = 22.\newlineCompare with original: 8c=138 - c = 13.\newlineThese are not equivalent; different constants and results
  5. Check Choice (D): Step 55: Check choice DD 8c+3=158 - c + 3 = 15. Add 33 to both sides of the original equation: (8c)+3=13+3(8 - c) + 3 = 13 + 3. Calculate: 16=1616 = 16. Oops, made a mistake in calculation; it should be 15=1615 = 16, which is incorrect
