Yes they are equivilent because of the distributive property
which is
a(b+c)=ab+ac
or in this case
5(p+c)=5p+5c
if you don't believe it *cough* *cough* *Brainiac01* *cough* *cough*
then subsitute values
lets sayp=4 and c=3
5(4)+5(3)=5(4+3)
20+15=5(7)
35=35
tada
so the answer is yes
ANSWER IS 5
so
how many years ago=x
so
'in how many years ago (-x) was ethan 5 times older than son
40-x means ethan's age x years ago
12-x means son's age x years ago
so
ethan's age x years ago is 5 times as much as son's age 5 years ago
40-x=5(12-x)
distribute using a(b+c)=ab+ac
40-x=60-5x
add 5x
40+4x=60
subtract 40
4x=20
divide 4
x=5
ANSWER IS 5 years
