Q. Select all of the equations below that are equivalent to:\newline29=7+u29 = 7 + u\newlineUse properties of equality.\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) 87=3(7+u)87 = 3(7 + u)\newline(B) 1129=77+11u–11 \cdot 29 = –77 + –11u\newline(C) 87=3(7+u)–87 = –3(7 + u)\newline(D) 629=42+6u–6 \cdot 29 = –42 + –6u
  1. Original Equation Analysis: We start with the original equation:\newline29=7+u29 = 7 + u\newlineTo 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.
  2. Choice (A) Evaluation: Let's analyze choice (A) 87=3(7+u)87 = 3(7 + u). To check if it's equivalent, we multiply both sides of the original equation by 33: 3×29=3×(7+u)3 \times 29 = 3 \times (7 + u) 87=21+3u87 = 21 + 3u This is not the same as choice (A), which has 87=3(7+u)87 = 3(7 + u) without distributing the 33.
  3. Choice (B) Evaluation: Now let's analyze choice (B) 1129=77+11u–11 \cdot 29 = –77 + –11u. To check if it's equivalent, we multiply both sides of the original equation by 11-11: 1129=11(7+u)-11 \cdot 29 = -11 \cdot (7 + u) 319=7711u-319 = -77 - 11u This is not the same as choice (B), which has 1129=77+11u–11 \cdot 29 = –77 + –11u. There is a mistake in the sign after 77-77; it should be a minus, not a plus.
