-5-(15y-1) = 2(7y-16) - y // question
-5-15y+1 = 14y-32-y // distribute
-15y - 4 = 13y - 32 // subtract
-28y = -28 // divide
y = 1
It'd be easier to do #18 if y ou were to break it up:
14* (first term + 14th term)
Sum from n=1 to 14 of n = S = ---------------------------------
14 2
14(1+14)
= ---------------- = 7(15) = 105
2
The sum of twice that is 210. The sum of "1 from n=1 to n=14" is just 14.
The final sum is 210 + 14 = 224 (answer)
Only 3(a−b) and 3a−3b are equivalent
Further explanation:
We have to evaluate each expression to evaluate if the expressions are equivalent or not.
So,
<u>For 3(a−b)</u>

As we can see that 3(a-b) results in 3a-3b so these are equivalent
<u>For 2a(2+b)</u>

As we can see that 2a(2+b) doesn't result in 4ab so these are not equivalent
Hence,
Only 3(a−b) and 3a−3b are equivalent
