Not unless the digits in each period are also in the same order. That is, the digit in each PLACE must be the same.
This will give us

That is the second option.
Please mark me as brainliest.
To start, we need to distribute
multiply 2x by <em>everything</em> in the parenthesis
2x (5 + 3x) - x
2x × 5 = 10x
2x × 3x = 6x²
now we have...
10x + 6x² - x
<em>simplify </em>
<u>6x² + 9x </u>
the coefficient of x is 9!
<h3>Answer:</h3>
13 years old
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Let g and m represent grandfather's age now and my age now. The relation 5 years ago was ...
... g -5 = 5(m -5)
The relation in 3 years will be ...
... g +3 = 3(m +3)
Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...
... 8 = -2m +34
... 2m = 26 . . . . . add 2m-8
... m = 13
My age now is 13.
