Answer:
Equivalent expressions are expressions which are equal. This means they simplify to the same expression. Simplify the two expressions -1.3x - (-8.9x) = 7.6x and -1.3 + (-8.9X) = -10.2x.
Then simplify each option to determine if it is equal -1.3x - (-8.9x), -1.3 + (-8.9X) or neither:
−1.3x−8.9x = -10.2x. This is equivalent to -1.3 + (-8.9X) .
8.9x+(−1.3x) = 7.6x This is equivalent to -1.3x - (-8.9x) .
−8.9x+(−1.3x) = -10.2x This is equivalent to -1.3 + (-8.9X) .
8.9x−(−1.3x) = 10.2x Neither
−1.3x+8.9x = 7.6x This is equivalent to -1.3x - (-8.9x) .
−8.9x+1.3x = -7.6x Neither

Answer:
x=9 :))
Step-by-step explanation:
First set up your equation.
"3 times" is multiplication
"THE SUM of A NUMBER and seven" that is parenthesis because of the multiplication before it
"is increased by ten" that is an addition at the end
Now we have 3(x+7)+10=4
Solve your equation!
Distribute the 3 now we have 3x+21+10=4
Add like terms
now it should look like this... 3x+31=4
Subtract 31 from both sides and it looks like...
3x=27
Divide by the x-value
x=9
Divide both.
82/8=10.25
37/4=9.25
The first is greater.
