Question:

a. Which of the given expressions is NOT equivalent to the expression 2x + 6? Why? If you were to correct it, what should it be?

b. Write an expression equivalent to 4x + 12 using the distributive property.

c. Write an expression equivalent to 4x + 12 by combining like terms.

Answer 1

A. The equation 2x+23 is not equivalent to 2x+6. The 2x is already there but the 23 we cannot simplify. B. This expression 2(2x+6) is the distributive property. If you distribute, it will be 2*2, which is 4. We also multiply 2 and 6, which will get you 12, as the final answer is 4x+12. C. x+x+x+x+6+6 is equal to 4x+12. If we add the x and the 6 it will be 4x+12. Hope it helped!!!
