Question #N862
The equation $\frac{2x+1}{x-3} = 4$ is equivalent to which of the following equations?
A. $2x + 1 = 4x - 12$
B. $2x + 1 = 4$
C. $2x + 1 = 4(x - 3)$
D. $2x + 1 = 4x - 3$
Correct Answer is: C
To solve for x, we multiply both sides of the equation by (x-3). This gives us $2x + 1 = 4(x - 3)$. The other options are incorrect and may result from errors in distributing the 4 on the right-hand side of the equation.
