Explanation:

The two equations are [tex]H-13=184[/tex] and [tex]H-34=163[/tex]

To determine why the two equations are equivalent, let us solve the equation.

Consider solving the equation [tex]H-13=184[/tex], we get,

Adding 13 on both sides, we get,

[tex]H=197[/tex]

Consider solving the equation [tex]H-34=163[/tex], we get,

Adding 37 on both sides, we get,

[tex]H=197[/tex]

Thus, when solving both the equations, the value of H is equal.

Since, the value of H is equal, the equations [tex]H-13=184[/tex] and [tex]H-34=163[/tex] are equivalent equations.

The meaning of the solution:

A value of a variable which makes the equation true is called a solution.

Here the value of the variable H is 197. Let us substitute the value in the equations [tex]H-13=184[/tex] and [tex]H-34=163[/tex] to determine whether it makes the equation true.

Let us substitute [tex]H=197[/tex] in [tex]H-13=184[/tex], we get,

[tex]197-13=187[/tex]

       [tex]187=187[/tex]

Hence, [tex]H=197[/tex] is true solution.

Also, let us substitute [tex]H=197[/tex] in [tex]H-34=163[/tex], we get,

[tex]197-34=163[/tex]

       [tex]187=187[/tex]

Hence, [tex]H=197[/tex] is true solution.
