13.1 Warm Up - Different equations

Equation 1

x - 3 = 2 - 4x

Which of these have the same solution as Equation 1? Be prepared to explain your reasoning.

Equation A Equation B Equation C Equation D

2x - 6 = 4 - 8x x - 5 = -4x 2(1 - 2x) = x - 3 -3 = 2 - 5x

Lesson Summary, Cont.

Substituting 3 in place of x into the original equation,

We get a statement that isn’t true! This tells us we must have made a mistake somewhere. Checking our original steps carefully, we made a mistake when distributing -3. Fixing it, we now have:

Substituting -3 in place of x into the original equation to make sure we didn’t make another mistake

This equation is true so x = -3 is the solution.
