STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given three equations labeled A, B, and C.
2. We are given five possible equivalent equations labeled 1 to 5.
3. We need to match each of the given equations A, B, and C with one of the equivalent equations 1 to 5.
4. Some of the answer choices may not be used, indicating that there may be unmatched equations.
5. Equivalent equations have the same solution set.

STEP 2

Begin by simplifying equation A if possible to see if it matches any of the given equivalent equations.
3x+6=4x+73x + 6 = 4x + 7

STEP 3

To simplify equation A, we can try to isolate the variable xx on one side. We can do this by subtracting 3x3x from both sides of the equation.
3x+63x=4x+73x3x + 6 - 3x = 4x + 7 - 3x

STEP 4

Simplify both sides of the equation after subtracting 3x3x.
6=x+76 = x + 7

STEP 5

Now, subtract 7 from both sides to isolate xx.
67=x+776 - 7 = x + 7 - 7

STEP 6

Simplify both sides of the equation after subtracting 7.
1=x-1 = x

STEP 7

We have simplified equation A to x=1x = -1. Now we need to find an equivalent equation among the choices 1 to 5 that simplifies to x=1x = -1. We can see that choice 4, 3x1=4x3x - 1 = 4x, simplifies to x=1x = -1 when we subtract 3x3x from both sides.
3x13x=4x3x3x - 1 - 3x = 4x - 3x 1=x-1 = x
Thus, equation A matches with equivalent equation 4.

STEP 8

Next, simplify equation B if possible to see if it matches any of the given equivalent equations.
3(x+6)=4x+73(x + 6) = 4x + 7

STEP 9

To simplify equation B, distribute the 3 on the left side of the equation.
3x+18=4x+73x + 18 = 4x + 7

STEP 10

We can see that the simplified form of equation B, 3x+18=4x+73x + 18 = 4x + 7, matches exactly with choice 2.
Thus, equation B matches with equivalent equation 2.

STEP 11

Finally, simplify equation C if possible to see if it matches any of the given equivalent equations.
4x+3x=764x + 3x = 7 - 6

STEP 12

Combine like terms on the left side of equation C.
7x=767x = 7 - 6

STEP 13

Simplify the right side of equation C.
7x=17x = 1

STEP 14

We can see that the simplified form of equation C, 7x=17x = 1, matches exactly with choice 5.
Thus, equation C matches with equivalent equation 5.

STEP 15

Now we have matched all three given equations with their equivalent equations:
- Equation A matches with equivalent equation 4. - Equation B matches with equivalent equation 2. - Equation C matches with equivalent equation 5.
