Consider the equation below a + 9 =23
3b + 9 =23
6c + 9 = 23

Determine whether each statement about the equations is true or false

1. False

2. True

3. True

4. False

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 9 = 23

a = 14

3b + 9 = 23

3b = 14

b = 14/3

6c + 9 = 23

6c = 14

c = 14/6 = 7/3

Statement 1: 3a = 14 x 3 = 42, which is not equal to b.

Statement 2: 7/3 is less than 14.

Statement 3: 2c = 7/3 x 2 = 14/3 = b.

Statement 4: 6c = 14 = 3b, so the value of 6c is not greater than 3b. It is just equal to.
