Can someone help pls?

A math class is having a discussion on how to determine if the expressions 4 x minus x + 5 and 8 minus 3 x minus 3 are equivalen

Brut [27]

Answer:

Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expressions

4x - x + 5 = 3x + 5
8 - 3x - 3 = -3x + 5

Compared, we see the expressions are different as 3x and -3x have different coefficient

Answer options

Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are both positive, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

Incorrect. Positive outcome doesn't mean equivalent
