Q. Select all of the equations below that are equivalent to:29=7+uUse properties of equality.Multi-select Choices:(A) 87=3(7+u)(B) –11⋅29=–77+–11u(C) –87=–3(7+u)(D) –6⋅29=–42+–6u
Original Equation Analysis: We start with the original equation:29=7+uTo determine if the other equations are equivalent, we need to apply the same operations to both sides of the original equation and see if we can obtain the equations given in the choices.
Choice (A) Evaluation: Let's analyze choice (A) 87=3(7+u). To check if it's equivalent, we multiply both sides of the original equation by 3: 3×29=3×(7+u)87=21+3u This is not the same as choice (A), which has 87=3(7+u) without distributing the 3.
Choice (B) Evaluation: Now let's analyze choice (B) –11⋅29=–77+–11u. To check if it's equivalent, we multiply both sides of the original equation by −11: −11⋅29=−11⋅(7+u)−319=−77−11u This is not the same as choice (B), which has –11⋅29=–77+–11u. There is a mistake in the sign after −77; it should be a minus, not a plus.
