Answer:

Reason given in step 2. is incorrect. It should read; "Distributive Property."

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason given to go from :

2 (3x +4) = 56  to 6x + 8 = 56

is NOT "Multiplication Property of Equality" because one is not multiplying both sides of the equality by a number. The property that is being used is the Distributive Property on the left side of the equation in order to remove the grouping symbols (parenthesis) performing the implied multiplication of the external factor times each term of the binomial in parenthesis.

Which expressions are equivalent to the one below? Check all that apply. 21^x/3^x
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

<em>options:  A,C,E </em>are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the expression equivalent to the expression:

\dfrac{21^x}{3^x}

we know that: 21^x=(3\times7)^x\\\\21^x=3^x\times7^x

Hence,

\dfrac{21^x}{3^x}=\dfrac{3^x\times7^x}{3^x}=7^x-----(1)

A)   (\dfrac{21}{3})^x= 7^x  (same as(1))

Hence, option A is correct.

B)  7 ; which is a different expression from (1)

Option B is incorrect.

C) 7^x   (Same as (1))

Option C is correct.

D) (21-3)^x=18^x   which is a different expression from (1)

Hence, option D is incorrect.

E) \dfrac{7^x\times3^x}{3^x}=7^x   ; which is same as (1)

Hence, Option E is correct.

F) 3^x  ; which is not same as expression (1)

Hence, option F is incorrect.
