Which of the following equations is NOT equivalent to \(4x^2\) = \(y^2\)- 9 ?
(A) \(4x^2\)+ 9 = \(y^2\)
(B) \(4x^2\) - \(y^2\) = -9
(C) \(4x^2\)= (y + 3)(y - 3)
(D) 2x = y - 3
(E) \(x^2\) = (\(y^2\)-9)/4
Edit: Formatting
We can always look for number plugging method as well because sometimes equations get difficult to be compared.
Here taking x =2 & y =5 satisfies the equation, plugging the same number in the list of options only D : 2x = y -3 does not satisfy the equation.
Hence D
