Q. Select all of the equations below that are equivalent to:\newline12g=1912 - g = 19\newlineUse properties of equality.\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) 12g6=1312 - g - 6 = 13\newline(B) 12g2=1712 - g - 2 = 17\newline(C) 12g7=1212 - g - 7 = 12\newline(D) 12g17=212 - g - 17 = 2
  1. Simplify Original Equation: To determine if the equations are equivalent, we can simplify the original equation and compare it to each choice. The original equation is 12g=1912 - g = 19. We can isolate gg by subtracting 1212 from both sides.\newlineCalculation: 12g12=191212 - g - 12 = 19 - 12\newlineg=7g = 7
  2. Compare with Choice (A): Now let's compare this result with each choice by performing the same operation (subtracting the same value from both sides of the original equation) and checking if we get an equivalent statement.\newlineFor choice (A), we subtract 66 from both sides of the original equation:\newline12g6=19612 − g − 6 = 19 − 6\newline6g=136 − g = 13\newlineThis is not equivalent to g=7g = 7.
  3. Compare with Choice (B): For choice (B), we subtract 22 from both sides of the original equation:\newline12g2=19212 - g - 2 = 19 - 2\newline10g=1710 - g = 17\newlineThis is not equivalent to g=7g = 7.
  4. Compare with Choice (C): For choice (C), we subtract 77 from both sides of the original equation:\newline12g7=19712 - g - 7 = 19 - 7\newline5g=125 - g = 12\newlineThis is not equivalent to g=7g = 7.
  5. Compare with Choice (D): For choice (D), we subtract 1717 from both sides of the original equation:\newline12g17=191712 - g - 17 = 19 - 17\newline5g=2-5 - g = 2\newlineThis is not equivalent to g=7g = 7.
