Consider the following equation.

12w - 27 = -34 + 14w

Select the equation that has the same solution as the given equation above.

A. -2w + 21 = -8w + 36

B. -5/6w + 2 = 13/3 - 1/6 w

C. -47 - 10w = -9w - 40 - 3w

D. 9/7w = 13/14w + 2

Respuesta :

The answer is C

12w - 27 = -34 +14w

-2w = -7

w = 7/2

-47 - 10w = -9w -40 - 3w

-47 - 10w = -12w - 40

-7 = -2w

w = 7/2


Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given as :

[tex]12w-27=-34+14w[/tex]

Solving this by pairing the like terms together,

[tex]12w-14w=-34+27[/tex]

[tex]-2w=-7[/tex]

This gives [tex]w=\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Now, we will solve all the equations to check which is same as the above.

A.

[tex]-2w+21=-8w+36[/tex]

=>[tex]-2w+8w=36-21[/tex]

=>[tex]6w=15[/tex]

=>[tex]w=\frac{15}{6}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

This is the wrong option.

B.

[tex]\frac{-5w}{6}+2=\frac{13}{3}-\frac{w}{6}[/tex]

=>[tex]\frac{-5w+12}{6}=\frac{26-w}{6}[/tex]

=>[tex]-5w+12=26-w[/tex]

=>[tex]-5w+w=26-12[/tex]

=>[tex]-4w=14[/tex]

=>[tex]w=\frac{-14}{4} =\frac{-7}{2}[/tex]

This is the wrong option.

C.

[tex]-47-10w=-9w-40-3w[/tex]

=>[tex]-10w+9w+3w=-40+47[/tex]

=>[tex]2w=7[/tex]

=>[tex]w=\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

This is the right option.

D.

[tex]\frac{9w}{7}=\frac{13w}{14}+2[/tex]

=>[tex]\frac{9w}{7}=\frac{13w+28}{14}[/tex]

=>[tex]126w=91w+196[/tex]

=>[tex]35w=196[/tex]

=>[tex]w=\frac{196}{35}[/tex]

Dividing by 7, we get

=>[tex]w=\frac{28}{5}[/tex]

This is the wrong option.

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
