So we have a small issue. i dont know how to figure this out and i dont know what equivalent means : / so if you can me that would be great. make sure you tell me how you got that answer. you

Equivalent means "equal to"

Because we are looking for an equation that is not equivalent to 3y + x = 18, we need to find one that is not equal to 3y + x = 18.

First, lets try y = 6 - 1/3x

3y + x = 18

Divide the whole of both sides by 3

y + 1/3x = 6

Then, subtract 1/3x from each side

y = 6 - 1/3x

So, y = 6 - 1/3x IS equivalent to 3y + x = 18, so it is not the answer.

Next, lets try y - 5 = -1/3 (x - 3)

First, we need to distribute the -1/3 in the right side.

y - 5 = -1/3x + 1

Add 5 to each side

y = -1/3x + 6

Add 1/3x to each side

y + 1/3x = 6

So, y + 1/3x = 6 is NOT equivalent to 3y + x = 18, so it IS an answer.

Lets try the third one: y - 5 = 1/3(x + 3)

We need to use distributive property again on the right side

y - 5 = 1/3x + 1

Add 5 to each side

y = 1/3x + 6 is not equivalent to 3y + x = 18 so it IS and answer

Lets test the last one: 6y + 2x = 36

Divide the whole of each side by 2

3y + x = 18 IS equivalent to 3y + x = 18 so it is NOT an answer
