Question

The temperature changes can be represented by the expression -0.5( 1 -2h).Chase says that the temperature change can also be represented by 4(2h+2)-7h-8.5 is chase correct? Are both expressions equivalent

Answer 1

Answer:

The expression are equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requests that we show whether the equation -0.5( 1 -2h) is equivalent to 4(2h + 2) - 7h - 8.5 or not :

Simplifying 4(2h + 2) - 7h - 8.5 ; we have ;

4(2h + 2) - 7h - 8.5

8h + 8 - 7h - 8.5

8h - 7h + 8 - 8.5

h - 0.5

-0.5(1 - 2h)

-0.5 + h

= h - 0.5

Hence, both expressions are the same
