Question

Equation -0.5x - 4 = 1.5 Equation 2: -0.5(x - 4) =1.5 select each statement that must be true

Answer 1

Explanation:

Equation -0.5x - 4 = 1.5

-0.5x = 5.5

x = -11

Equation 2: -0.5(x - 4) =1.5

-0.5x + 2 = 1.5

-0.5x = -0.5

x = 1

Thus, the following statements must be true:

Equation 1 and Equation 2 have different solutions.

The solution to Equation 1 is x = -11.

The solution to Equation 2 is x = 1.
