Compare Choices: To determine which equations are equivalent to 15 = w + x, we need to compare each choice to see if they can be simplified or rearranged to match the original equation.Check Choice (A): Let's start with choice (A) 17 = w + x + 2. To check if this is equivalent to 15 = w + x, we need to see if subtracting 2 from both sides of (A) gives us the original equation. 17 - 2 = w + x 15 = w + x This shows that (A) is equivalent to the original equation.Check Choice (B): Now let's check choice (B) 20 = 5 + w + x. To check if this is equivalent to 15 = w + x, we need to see if subtracting 5 from both sides of (B) gives us the original equation. 20 - 5 = w + x 15 = w + x This shows that (B) is equivalent to the original equation.Check Choice (C): Next, we look at choice (C) 19 = 4 + w + x. To check if this is equivalent to 15 = w + x, we need to see if subtracting 4 from both sides of (C) gives us the original equation. 19 - 4 = w + x 15 = w + x This shows that (C) is equivalent to the original equation.Check Choice (D): Finally, we examine choice (D) 18 = 3 + w + x. To check if this is equivalent to 15 = w + x, we need to see if subtracting 3 from both sides of (D) gives us the original equation. 18 - 3 = w + x 15 = w + x This shows that (D) is equivalent to the original equation.

Select all of the equations below that are equivalent to: $\newline$ $15 = w + x$ $\newline$ Use properties of equality. $\newline$ Multi-select Choices: $\newline$ (A) $17 = w + x + 2$ $\newline$ (B) $20 = 5 + w + x$ $\newline$ (C) $19 = 4 + w + x$ $\newline$ (D) $18 = 3 + w + x$
