Q. Select all of the equations below that are equivalent to:j+5=3Use properties of equality.Multi-select Choices:(A) 22(j+5)=66(B) (j+5)⋅7=21(C) −18(j+5)=−36(D) (j+5)⋅23=69
Check Equation (A): To determine if the equations are equivalent, we need to see if they simplify to j+5=3 when we apply the properties of equality.
Check Equation (B): Let's start with option (A) 22(j+5)=66. We divide both sides by 22 to isolate (j+5). 2222(j+5)=2266(j+5)=3 This is equivalent to the original equation.
Check Equation (C): Now, let's check option (B) (j+5)⋅7=21. We divide both sides by 7 to isolate (j+5). (j+5)⋅7/7=21/7(j+5)=3 This is also equivalent to the original equation.
Check Equation (D): Next, we examine option (C) −18(j+5)=−36.We divide both sides by −18 to isolate (j+5).−18(j+5)/−18=−36/−18(j+5)=2This is not equivalent to the original equation.
Check Equation (D): Next, we examine option (C) −18(j+5)=−36. We divide both sides by −18 to isolate (j+5). −18(j+5)/−18=−36/−18(j+5)=2 This is not equivalent to the original equation.Finally, we look at option (D) (j+5)⋅23=69. We divide both sides by 23 to isolate (j+5). (j+5)⋅23/23=69/23(j+5)=3 This is equivalent to the original equation.
