Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, simplify the two expressions by using the distributive property:

4(x + 2y) + 4x

Distribute 4 to the terms in the parentheses:

4(x + 2y) + 4x

4x + 8y + 4x

Add like terms:

8x + 8y

Then, do this to the other expression:

8(x + y)

8x + 8y

So, both expressions are equal, because they both simplified to 8x + 8y

Ber [7]

So to find the answer to this, you have to consider that $\frac{1}{2} x + 9 = 13$ - half because half the pocket money (x) was spend on clothes, then plus 9 because that's how much extra she gained and 13 because that was the result of all the changes.

To solve this, first subtract 9 from both side, which leaves you with $\frac{1}{2} x = 4$ and $\frac{1}{2} x$ is the same as $\frac{1x}{2}$ , so to solve this, multiply both sides of the equation by two, resulting in $x = 8$ . SO from this we can conclude that the weekly allowance is $8
