Question

Any number that makes 5x=10 true also makes 5x/3=10 ​ ? ​ ? true.

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

The number which makes
`5x=10` true is 2.

`5(2)=10`

`10=10`

Therefore, 2 is the true value for this. But, lets check an equation like this.

`(5x)/(3)=10`

We can use algebraic methods to solve this, first multiply 3

`5x=30`

Divide by 5

`x=6`

Because 6 > 2, the number 2 does not make the two equations equivalent.
