Answer:
each equation can be transformed to the other
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting with the given equation, we can subtract 4, then multiply by 2:
x + 5 = 15
x + 5 - 4 = 15 - 4
x + 1 = 11
2(x + 1) = 2(11)
2(x +1) = 22 . . . an equivalent equation
The properties of equality allow one equation to be transformed into the other.
