Step-by-step explanation:

5(x - 1) = 5x - 5

5x - 1 = 5x - 1

No, 5(x-1) expands out to make 5x-5. So 5x-1 and 5x-5 aren’t equivalent.

Which equation is equal to 4a+2b=10 A. b=-2a+10 B. 2a+5 C. b=-2a+5 D. b=2a+10

nata0808 [166]

4a + 2b = 10

you are solving for b

isolate the b

subtract 4a from both sides

4a (-4a) + 2b = 10 (-4a)

2b = 10 - 4a

divide 2 from both sides to isolate the b

2b(/2) = (10 - 4a)/2

b = (10 - 4a)/2

b = 5 - 2a

C) b = -2a + 5 is your answer

hope this helps
