Final Answer : A, Explanation :   The equations are not equivalent because when simplified, the first equation becomes   x = 5 x = 5 x = 5   (subtracting 8 from both sides), and the second equation simplifies to   x = 1 x = 1 x = 1   (subtracting 24 from both sides and then dividing by 2), leading to different values for   x x x  .
