A) Equivalent equations
B) Not equivalent equations

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equations are equivalent because they can all be simplified to x = 4. 
Starting with 3x-5=7: 
Add 5 to both sides: 3x=12 
Divide both sides by 3: x=4 
Therefore, all three equations have the same solution, making them equivalent equations.
