Algebra II help ? please?

Question

first of what is an equivalent equation?

this is what my homework says:

an example of 2 equivalent equation. how do you know they are equivalent?

Answer 1

Equivalent equations are equal on both sides, e.g.

3 + 8 = 6 + 5

or

6x + 2 = 10x -  30    when x = 8

You just have to figure out each side of the problem separately, and ensure that the totals are equal.

Hope this helps!  Good Luck!!

Answer 2

If i remember correctly, It means that the equations are equal to each other or mean the same thing like

x=2y+7

y= 1/2 x - 3.5

I'm not quite sure though so you may want to check this website

Answer 3

equivalent equation are equations that have the same solution.

i.e.

3x - 2x = 10 --> 1x = 10 so x = 10

and

3x - 10 = 2x --> -10 = 2x - 3x --> -10 = -1x so x = 10

the equations have the same part just arranged in different ways and the answers are the same so the equations are equivalent.
