To show that the equations are the same, we need to rewrite one of the equations as an equivalent equation of the second
Damita's claim is true
The equations are given as:
0.8x - 0.8 = 1.6
4/5 ( x - 1 ) = 1 (3/5)
We need to rewrite one of the equations, as follows:
4/5 ( x - 1 ) = 1 (3/5)
Express as decimal
0.8 ( x - 1 ) = 1 + 0.6
Open the brackets
0.8x - 0.8 = 1.6
Now we have:
0.8x - 0.8 = 1.6 (the first equation) and 0.8x - 0.8 = 1.6 (the equivalent of the second equation)
The above shows that both equations are the same
