Equivalent Expressions Illustrative Math Algebra 1, Lesson 6 Unit 2

​Two different equations are called Equivalent Equations when the equations have the exact same solution

​

​Equations that have the exact same solutions are equivalent equations.

​Which equation is equivalent to the equation 6x + 9 = 12

​Use the properties of real numbers to create equivalent equations.

​

​Examples of Equivalent Equations:

​x = 15 and x + 3 = 18

​

​Why are the equations equivalent?

​

​ 2a + 3 = 7 and 6a + 9 = 21

​Use the properties of real numbers to create equivalent equations.

​

​Commutative Property a + b = b + a

​

​Associative Property a+ (b + c) = (a + b) + c

​

​Distributive Property a(b + c) = ab + ac

​

​Multiplication inverse property g * 1/g = 1

​Here is a graph of the equation

3x - 2y = 12

​

​To find the coordinate pairs that represent a solution, look for the points on the line graph.

​Example: (2, -3)
