Question

17. Explain whether 11t - 4t is equivalent to 4t - 11t.

Answer 1

Answer:

So Equation ( 1 )  is NOT Equivalent to Equation ( 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$11t - 4t$ ..............Equation ( 1 )

$4t - 11t$  ................Equation ( 2 )

To Find:

Whether Equation ( 1 )  is Equivalent to Equation ( 2 )

Support your answer by evaluating the expression for t = 2.

Solution:

For t=2 Equation ( 1 ) we get

$11t - 4t=11(2) - 4(2)=22-8=14$

For t=2 Equation ( 2 ) we get

$4t - 11t=4(2) -11(2)=8-22=-14$

From above we get two different values

So Equation ( 1 )  is NOT Equivalent to Equation ( 2 )
