Answer 1

b) Given:

2000(x - 24) + 5000 = 18000

Let's find the equivalent equation.

Use distributive property to expand the parenthesis:

2000x - 2000(24) + 5000 = 18000

2000x - 48000 + 5000 = 18000

Combine like terms:

2000x - 43000 = 18000

Divide through by 1000:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2000x}{1000}-\frac{43000}{1000}=\frac{18000}{1000} \\ \\ 2x-43=18 \end{gathered}$

Therefore the equivalent equation is:

$2x-43=18$
