Which of the following equations is equivalent to

Step-by-step explanation:

none

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by multiplying both side of the equation by 6 in order to remove the fractions.

Now, we can try to see if this equation is equivalent to the other options.

Every option has the left side as 2x - 6. In order to get that, we need to subtract 12 on both sides:

This simplifies to

This is not the same as any of the options shown.

We can check this by solving the equations.

2x - 6 = 18 - x + 3

3x = 6 + 18 + 3

3x = 27

x = 9

Now, the first option:

2x - 6 = 10 - x - 3

3x = 6 + 10 - 3

3x = 13

x = 13/3

The second option is the exact same as the third, so they would have the same solution:

2x - 6 = 30 - x- 3

3x = 6 + 30 - 3

3x= 33

x = 11

Since none of the options have the answer 9, they are not equivalent to the equation shown.

stops on an even number.
