Question

select all of the equations below that are equivalent to:
vw = 11
use properties of equality.
vw - 2 = 9
vw - 5 = 4
vw - 5 = 6
vw - 6 = 5

Explanation:

Step1: Test first equation

Start with $vw=11$, subtract 2:
$vw - 2 = 11 - 2 = 9$

Step2: Test second equation

Start with $vw=11$, subtract 5:
$vw - 5 = 11 - 5 = 6
eq 4$

Step3: Test third equation

Start with $vw=11$, subtract 5:
$vw - 5 = 11 - 5 = 6$

Step4: Test fourth equation

Start with $vw=11$, subtract 6:
$vw - 6 = 11 - 6 = 5$

Answer:

• $vw - 2 = 9$
• $vw - 5 = 6$
• $vw - 6 = 5$
