Which expressions are equivalent to 2 (three-fourths x + 7) minus 3 (one-half x minus 5)? Check all that apply.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x+(-5))

2(\frac{3}{4}x)+2(7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x)+(-3)(-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The original expression given in the text is

2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)-3(\frac{1}{2}x-5)  (1)

And we want to check to what other expressions is equivalent. First of all, we solve it by writing explicitely each term:

\frac{3}{2}x+14-\frac{3}{2}x+15 (2)

Let's verify each of the other expressions separately. For the first one:

2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x+(-5))

We see that this is equivalent to expression (1), since the first half is identical, while in the second one, the combination "+-" can be simply written as "-", so we get

2(\frac{3}{4}x+7)-3(\frac{1}{2}x-5)

Which is equivalent to (1).

For the 2nd one:

2(\frac{3}{4}x)+2(7)+3(\frac{1}{2}x)+3(-5)

This is not equivalent. In fact, here we have applied the distributive property to each term: however, the 3rd and 4th term are not correct, because the (3) must be negative (-3), as in the original expression.

If we write it explicitely in fact, we get

\frac{3}{2}x+14+\frac{3}{2}x-15

Which is different from (2).

For the 3rd one:

2(\frac{3}{4}x)+2(7)+(-3)(\frac{1}{2}x)+(-3)(-5)

This one is equivalent. In fact, here we have applied the distributive property correctly. By solvign each term we get:

\frac{3}{2}x+14-\frac{3}{2}x+15

Answer:

I am truly sorry if any of these answers are incorrect, I am here to help and I will do my best!

Step-by-step explanation:

A clock that uses hands to tell time is less precise than a clock that uses numbers.

A signal stored on a vinyl record is less easily copied than a signal stored in a computer.

A signal that is continuously varying is less reliable than a signal with limited possible values.

A signal transmitted by the human voice loses more energy as it travels than a signal transmitted by a fiberoptic cable.

Hope this helps! :)

If so, Brainliest would be nice... But it is ok if not :)
