Explain how solving an equation with variables on both sides of the equation is different than solving an equation with a variable on only one side. Please use an example of each to show your work. You may use these examples or make up your own: 6x -9 = 15 16x - 20 = 44+ 5x show your work and explain your steps and why.

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

6x-9 = 15

Add 9 to both sides

6x-9+9 = 15+9

6x = 24

x = 24/6

x = 4

For the equation

16x - 20 = 44+ 5x

Since we have x variables on both sides, we will collect the like terms

16x - 5x = 44+20

11x = 64

Divide both sides by 11

11x/11 = 64/11

x = 64/11

x = 5.82

Hence the value of x is 5.82

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
