Question

Determine whether the linear expressions are equivalent:3(4x + 2) and 2(6x + 3)Show all work. Explain why they are equivalent or why they are not equivalent in at least one sentence.

Answer 1

3(4x+2)
(3*4x) + (3*2)
12x+6

2(6x+3)
(2*6x) + (2*3)
12x+6

These 2 equations are equivalent because of the distributive property that you have to apply to each equation to get your answer
