Diego’s age d is 5 more than 2 times his sister’s age s. This situation is represented by the equation d=2s+5. Which equation is equivalent to the equation d=2s+5? A) d=2(s+5)
B) d-5=2s
C) d-2=s+5
D) d/2=s+5

d-5=2s

Diego's age d is 5 more than 2 times his sister's age s.

The equation used to represent it is :

d = 2s +5

We need to find the equivalent equation for the above equation.

If we take 5 to LHS of the equation, it will become -5 such that,

d-5=2s

Hence, option (b) is the equivalent equation.

whats the

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
