1) The expressions are not equivalent. When you expand and multiply 2(x + 3) it becomes 2x + 6. This is not equal to 3x + 5
2) They are equivalent. Again, expand and multiply the second expression. 2(3n + 4) becomes 6n + 8. This makes both sides equal.
3) They are equivalent. In the parentheses, you are adding 3 y's and a 2. This gives you 3y + 2. Now add the additional 3y that follows the closed parentheses. You'll have 6y + 2. Now both sides are equivalent.

Answer:
144 boys and 384 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
8 girls to every 3 boys. You can make an equation to solve this: 8x + 3x = 528. 528 = 11x. Then divide 528 by 11 to get 48. x=48. 8(48) = 384 girls. 3(48) = 144 boys.
<span>−4x−8>−20
Add 8 to both sides
-4x>-12
Divide both sides by -4
Final Answer: x<3</span>
Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
try each value in the equation
2(0) + 1 = 3
0 + 1 = 3
1 ≠ 3
so 0 doesn’t work
2(1) + 1 = 3
2 + 1 = 3
3 = 3
this works, so the answer is 1
