Weighted Equations: Ascertain whether the equations are equivalent

Question 1

Are the equations balanced?

\( 9-x=1\stackrel{?}{=}5x=-40 \)

Question 2

Are the equations balanced?

\( x-25=5\stackrel{?}{=}7x-10=200 \)

Question 3

Are the equations balanced?

\( 26{=}\frac{x}{6}\stackrel{?}{=}\frac{2}{x}{=}\frac{1}{78} \)
