Which expressions are equivalent??

Brilliant_brown [7]

Given:

The given expression is $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$

We need to determine the equivalent expression.

Option A: -1

Solving the expression, we get;

$\frac{3}{2} x+14-\frac{3}{2} x+15$

Simplifying, we get;

$14+15=29$

Thus, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is not equivalent to -1.

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: 29

Solving the expression, we get;

$\frac{3}{2} x+14-\frac{3}{2} x+15$

Simplifying, we get;

$14+15=29$

Thus, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent to 29.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Let us rewrite the given expression.

$2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Thus, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent to $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Thus, Option C is the correct answer.

Option D: $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+3\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+3(-5)$

Rewriting the expression, we get;

$2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)+(-3)\left[\frac{1}{2} x+(-5)\right]$

Hence, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent not to $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+3\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+3(-5)$

Thus, Option D is not the correct answer.

Option E: $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)$

Multiplying the terms within the bracket, we get;

$2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)$

Hence, the expression $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x+7\right)-3\left(\frac{1}{2} x-5\right)$ is equivalent to $2\left(\frac{3}{4} x\right)+2(7)+(-3)\left(\frac{1}{2} x\right)+(-3)(-5)$

Thus, Option E is the correct answer.
