Understanding Equivalent Equations

The video tutorial explains how to create equivalent equations starting from the equation y = 15. It demonstrates four operations: dividing by five, adding four, multiplying by -3, and subtracting six, applied to both sides of the equation to generate equivalent equations. The tutorial concludes by verifying that y = 15 is a solution to all derived equations, ensuring the operations maintain equivalence.

What is the final equivalent equation after all operations?

• -3 * (y / 5 + 4) - 6 = -21

• -3 * (y / 5 + 4) - 6 = -24

• -3 * (y / 5 + 4) - 6 = -27

• -3 * (y / 5 + 4) - 6 = -30

What value of y satisfies all the equivalent equations derived?
