Which expressions are equivalent??

Brilliant_brown [7]

Given:

The given expression is $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$

We need to determine the equivalent expression.

Option A: -1

Solving the expression, we get;

$\frac{3}{2} x+14-\frac{3}{2} x+15$

Simplifying, we get;

$14+15=29$

Thus, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is not equivalent to -1.

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: 29

Solving the expression, we get;

$\frac{3}{2} x+14-\frac{3}{2} x+15$

Simplifying, we get;

$14+15=29$

Thus, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent to 29.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Let us rewrite the given expression.

$2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Thus, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent to $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Thus, Option C is the correct answer.

Option D: $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+3\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+3(-5)$

Rewriting the expression, we get;

$2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Hence, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent not to $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+3\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+3(-5)$

Thus, Option D is not the correct answer.

Option E: $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)$

Multiplying the terms within the bracket, we get;

$2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)$

Hence, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent to $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)$

Thus, Option E is the correct answer.

Becca has a balance of $22.90 at the beginning of May for clothes. Her allotment for the month is $50.00. She buys a two new out

a_sh-v [17]

Add the balance and allotment:

22.90 + 50.00 = 72.90

This is how much she can actually spend.

She spent 85.50.

Subtract the two:

85.50 - 72.90 = 12.60

Since she spent more than she actually could be balance would be a negative number.

The balance would be - $12.60

A=3
B=4
C=5
Substitute 3 in for 'a' in the equation, and 5 in for 'c' in the equation to get 17.
