Question

IMPORTANT: Jamie says that the expressions 6x-2x+4 and 4(x+1)are not equivalent because one expression has a term that is subtracted and the other does not. Do you agree? Explain.

I need an answer similar to how this answer looks:

Yes, because in the expression 2(2n-1) you will first need to multiply 2 by 2n, your result is 4n, and then you multiply 2 by 1, you get 2, so the answer will be 4n-2, as mentioned up in the problem. So yes, Chris is correct.

Answer 1

Answer:

Np Jamie is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

No, because in the phrase 4(x+1), you must first multiply 4 by x, which gives you 4x, and then multiply 4 by 1 to get 4, giving you 4x+4, also, in the phrase 6x-2x+4, you must subtract 2x from 6x to get 4x, and then add 4 to get 4x + 4x.

Our final solution is:

4(x+1) = 4x + 4 and 6x-2x+4 = 4x + 4

Answer 2

Answer:

The reasoning of Jamie is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

No, because in the expression 4(x+1)  you will first need to multiply 4 by x, your result is 4x, and then you multiply 4 by 1, you get 4, so the answer will be 4x+4, as mentioned up in the problem.

Also in the expression 6x-2x+4  ,you will first need to subtract 2x from  6x, your result is 4x ,and then you add 4 , so the answer will be 4x + 4

Finally,we obtain

6x-2x+4 = 4x + 4 and 4(x+1) = 4x + 4

Conclusion:

The reasoning of Jamie is NOT correct.
