Answer: x = - 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 2 - 5x - 7 = 4x + 2

=> -8x - 5 = 4x + 2

=> -12x = 7

=> x = - 7/12

Multiply -3 to both numbers

-3 multiplied by 8 is equal to - 24
-3 multiplied by -x is 3x (should be positive for double negative)

Determine whether each expression is equivalent to

larisa [96]

The algebraic expressions, $x + x + y + y + y + y - 5 + x + x + x + 8 - 4y$ and $5x + 3$ are equivalent to $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

To determine whether each expression is equivalent to $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$ , apply the knowledge of algebra to solve each of the following in it's simplest form.

First, simplify $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$ as follows:

Add like terms

$2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y\\2x + 3x + 4y - 4y - 5 + 8\\5x + 3$

Next, compare or simplify where necessary each of the given algebraic expressions with $5x + 3$

First Option

$x + x + y + y + y + y - 5 + x + x + x + 8 - 4y$

Add like terms together

$2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y\\2x + 3x + 4y - 4y -5+8\\5x + 3$

Therefore, $x + x + y + y + y + y - 5 + x + x + x + 8 - 4y$ is equivalent to $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

Check the box for YES.

Second Option:

$6xy + 3 - 4y$ (cannot be simplified further)

$6xy + 3 - 4y\neq 2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

Therefore:

Leave the box BLANK for NO.

Third Option:

$-8y + 5x - 3$ (cannot be simplified further)

$-8y + 5x - 3 \neq 2x + 4y -5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

Therefore:

Leave the box BLANK for NO.

Fourth Option:

$5x + 3$

$5x + 3 = 2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

Therefore:

Check the box for YES.

Thus, the algebraic expressions that are equivalent to $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$ are:

$x + x + y + y + y + y - 5 + x + x + x + 8 - 4y$

$5x + 3$
