Answer:

Yes, the two equations are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first equation, we will solve for x.

2x + 4 = 10

Subtract 4 from both sides...

2x + 4 = 10

      -4    -4

It then becomes

2x = 6

Then we divide by 2 on both sides.

2x = 6

2     2

Then the answer is...

x = 3

Now let's also solve for x on the second equation.

3x + 6 = 15

Subtract 6 on both sides to get x alone...

3x + 6 = 15

      -6    -6

Then it is..

3x = 9

Lastly, divide by 3 on both sides...

3x = 9

3     3

Then it becomes

x = 3.

Then we see that both equations have x = 3, meaning when both x's = 3, then both equations will be equivalent. I hope this helps, and I hope it is not wrong, but I don't think it is.
