Answer:
The correct option is (D).
Step-by-step explanation:
The two expressions are:

On simplifying both the expressions we get:

Compute the value of both expressions for <em>x</em> = 2 as follows:

The value of both expressions are same for <em>x</em> = 2.
Thus, the correct option is:
"They are equivalent because when x = 2, the two expressions have the same value."
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
X can't be negative cause it wouldn't make sense
We are given a trapezoid TRHY.
Height of the trapezoid = 13 units.
b1 = 21 units and
Area = 215 units squares.
We need to find the length of b2.
We know formula for area of a trapezoid.

Plugging values in formula.
215 =
(21+b2)× 13.
215 = 6.5(21+b2)
Dividing both sides by 6.5, we get

33.08 = 21+b2.
Subtracting 21 from both sides, we get
33.08-21 = 21-21+b2
b2 = 12.08.
<h3>Therefore, length of b2 is 12.08 units.</h3>
Given:
this year's population: 400 students
next year's population: 120% of this year's population
this year's population x rate of next year's population = next year's population
400 students * 120% = 480 students CHOICE D.
There will be 480 students next year.
Answer:
x=2.5 or x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
factorisation= factors:1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 (only the positive factors)
We will use the factors 4 and 5.
=(2x-5)(x+4)=0
2x-5=0 || x+4=0
2x=+5 || x=-4
x=2.5 or x=-4
