Understanding Equivalent Equations

The video tutorial explains how to create equivalent equations by performing the same operations on both sides of an equation. It starts with the equation D = 5 and demonstrates how to generate equivalent equations by applying operations like subtraction, division, and multiplication. The process is repeated with a new equation, Y = 12, to reinforce the concept. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding equivalent equations for solving more complex equations.

What is the initial equation used to demonstrate creating equivalent equations?

• D = 5

• Y = 12

• X = 10

• Z = 7

Which operation is performed first on the equation D = 5?

• Subtract 3

• Divide by 4

• Add 5

• Multiply by 6

What is the result of dividing both sides of the equation D - 3 = 2 by 4?

• D - 3 / 4 = 1/2

• D - 3 / 4 = 12

• D - 3 = 1/2

• D - 3 = 8

What is the next equation introduced after D = 5?

• A = 3

• X = 10

• Y = 12

• Z = 7

What operation is performed first on the equation Y = 12?

• Subtract 4

• Multiply by 2

• Divide by 3

• Add 5

What is the result of dividing both sides of the equation 2y = 24 by 3?

• y / 3 = 8

• 2y / 3 = 8

• 2y = 8

• y = 8

What is the result of subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation Y = 12?

• Y - 4 = 8

• Y - 4 = 16

• Y = 8

• Y = 16

What is the final equivalent equation after dividing y - 4 by 3?

• y - 4 / 3 = 8

• y - 4 / 3 = 8 / 3

• y = 8 / 3

• y = 8
