Question

Is 6(4x-5) equivalent to 3+22x-33-2x?

Answer 1

Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

To find if they are equivalent, we need to simplify them first.

Using the distributive property we get:

6(4x-5) = 24x - 30

In this case we need to combine like terms.

3 + 22x - 33 - 2x =  20x - 30

So now we can compare.

24x - 30 ≠ 20x - 30

So we can conclude that the two expressions are not equal because 24x - 30 and 20x - 30 are obviously not equal.

Answer 2

Answer:

Not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression $6 ( 4 x - 5 )$ and we are to check if it is equal to $3 + 22 x - 33 - 2 x$ or not.

Evaluation the given expression first:

$6 ( 4 x - 5 ) = 24 x - 30$

While adding the terms in $3 + 22 x - 33 - 2 x$, we get:

$22 x - 2 x - 33 + 3 = 20 x - 30$

$24 x - 30 \neq 20 x - 30$

Therefore, $6 ( 4 x - 5 )$ is not equivalent to $3 + 22 x - 33 - 2 x$.
