Answer:

No they are not!

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for b:

3 (5 b - 2) = 0

Divide both sides of 3 (5 b - 2) = 0 by 3:

(3 (5 b - 2))/3 = 0/3

3/3 = 1:

5 b - 2 = 0/3

0/3 = 0:

5 b - 2 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

5 b + (2 - 2) = 2

2 - 2 = 0:

5 b = 2

Divide both sides of 5 b = 2 by 5:

(5 b)/5 = 2/5

5/5 = 1:

Answer:  b = 2/5

____________________________________________

Solve for b:

8 b - 5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides:

8 b + (5 - 5) = 5

5 - 5 = 0:

8 b = 5

Divide both sides of 8 b = 5 by 8:

(8 b)/8 = 5/8

8/8 = 1:

Answer:  b = 5/8

No, if you multiply the factors in 3(5b-2) the equivalent expression would be 15b-6

Ronch [10]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is option B</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x + 4}{3}  = 2

To solve it first of all cross multiply

That's

x + 4 = 6

Move 4 to the right side of the equation

The sign changes to negative

That's

x = 6 - 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = 2</h3>

Hope this helps you
