Question

Explain weather 14t-3t is equivalent to 3t-14t. Support your sender by evaluating the expression for t=2.

Answer 1

Answer:

Solving 14t-3t we get 22 and 3t-14t we get -22

So, 14t-3t is not equivalent to 3t-14t.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to explain weather 14t-3t is equivalent to 3t-14t. Support your sender by evaluating the expression for t=2.

Equivalent expressions are those that have same values for any value of variable substituted.

Now, We check if our expressions are equivalent, by evaluating the expression for t=2.

If they are equivalent, they would have same result after evaluation.

First, put t=2 into 14t-3t

$14t-3t\\Put\:t=2\\=14(2)-3(2)\\=28-6\\=22$

Now put t=2, into 3t-14t

$3t-14t\\Put\:t=2\\=3(2)-14(2)\\=6-28\\=-22$

For solving 14t-3t we get 22 and 3t-14t we get -22

So, 14t-3t is not equivalent to 3t-14t.
