Question

Andre says that 10x + 6 and 5x + 11 are equivalent because they both equal 16 when x is 1. Do you agree with Andre? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Yes cause 10(x=1) so (10+1)+6 make it 17 and you do the same to the other side, (5+1)+11 is 17

Answer 2

yes, because x equals to 1 unless it is told that it has a variable in the question.
