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

t using substitution. The class has suggested four different methods. Which describes the correct method? 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. Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent. Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are positive, then the two expressions must be equivalent. 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.

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:

<u>Given expressions</u>

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

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

<u>Answer options</u>

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

----------------------------------------

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

  • Incorrect. There are 2 values- variable and constant

----------------------------------------

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

  • Incorrect. Positive outcome doesn't mean equivalent.

----------------------------------------

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.

  • Correct.

How to use denominators when comparing two fractions with the same numerators
Sholpan [36]
What you would do is take the denominators and multiply them by each other, then multiply the numerators by that same number. So like 4/10 and 4/9. You would say, (denominators) 10x9=90 and (numerators) 4x9=36. So your first fraction would be 36/90. Next, you would take (denominators) 9x10=90 and (numerators) 4x10=40. So your second fraction would become 40/90. Now it's a lot easier to compare. 36/90 < 40/90 would be the answer to my problem. I hope I helped!

Gwar [14]

value of home in 1991= 105% of 170000

value of home in 1992= 105%×105% of 170000

value of home in 1993= 105%×105%×105% of 170000

=$196,796.25
