Answer:
The expressions are not equivalent because -3(2)(5-4)+3(2-6)=-18 and -12(2)-6=-30
Step-by-step explanation:
Two expressions are said to be equal if after a number is substituted to the expression, they produce the same result (that is they have the same value).
To determine whether -3x(5-4)+3(x-6) is equivalent to -12x-6, we have to substitute the same number to the expression and see if it produces the same result.
Substituting 2 to the first expression gives:
-3×2(5-4) + 3(2 - 6) = -6 - 12 = -18
Substituting 2 to the second expression gives:
-12(2) - 6 = -24 - 6 = -30
Since -3×2(5-4) + 3(2 - 6) = -6 - 12 = -18 and -12(2) - 6 = -24 - 6 = -30, the expressions are not equivalent because they do not produce the same result.

I don’t know what tou want us to figure out, do you want the simplified answer or what x and y are?
Given parameters:
Distance covered = 925 miles
Quantity of gas used = 37 gallons
Cost of gas per gallon = $5.909
Unknown:
Amount spend on gas = ?
The amount spent on gas would:
Cost of gas = cost of gas per gallon x quantity of gas used
Input the parameters and solve;
Cost of gas = $5.909 / gallon x 37 gallons = $218.6
Amount spent on fuel during her trip was $218.6
