Question

James determined that these two expressions were equivalent expressions using the values of y=4 and yu 6. Which

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

Two or more Algebraic expressions are said to be equivalent, if both the expression produces same numerical value , when variable in the expressions are replaced by any Real number.

The two expressions are

1. 7 x +4

2. 3 x +5 +4 x =1

Adding and subtracting Variables and constants

→7 x +5=1

→7 x +5-1

→7 x +4

→ When x=2,

7 x + 4 =7×2+4

=14 +4

=18

So, Both the expression has same value =18.

→So, by the definition of equivalent expression, when ,you substitute , x by any real number the two expression are equivalent.

Correct options among the given statement about the expressions are:

1.When x = 2, both expressions have a value of 18.

2.The expressions have equivalent values for any value of x.

3.The expressions have equivalent values if x = 8.
