Question

Decide whether each expression is equivalent to 0.75t-21. 3/4t-21 3/4( t-21) 0.75( t-28) t-0.25t-21. Explain how you know

Answer 1

Answer: expression 1,3 and 4 are equivalent to 0.75t-21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression 1

3/4t-21

= 0.75t - 21

Expression 2

3/4( t-21)

Multiply through by 0.75

= 0.75 ( t - 21 )

= 0.75t - 15.75

Expression 3

0.75( t-28)

Multiply through by 0.75

= 0.75t - 21

Expression 4

t-0.25t-21

let t = 1

1-0.25t - 21

= 0.75t - 21

expression 1,3 and 4 are equivalent to 0.75t-21.
