Question

Which pair shows equivalent expressions?

Answer 1

Which pair shows equivalent expressions?

A.2(2/5x + 2)=2 2/5x + 1

B.2(2/5x + 2)=4/5x + 4

C.2(2/5x + 4)=4/5x + 2

D.2(2/5x + 4)=2 2/5x + 8

Solution:

$2(\frac{2}{5}x + 2)$

Let us distribute 2 inside the parenthesis.

That is, we use distributive property:

a(b+c)=ab+ac

$2(\frac{2}{5}x + 2) =\frac{2*2}{5}x+2*2$

So, $2(\frac{2}{5}x + 2) =\frac{4}{5}x+4$

Answer:Option (b)

$2(\frac{2}{5}x+4)$

Applying distributive property, a(b+c)=ab+ac

$2(\frac{2}{5}x+4) =2*\frac{2}{5} x+2*4$

$2(\frac{2}{5}x+4) =\frac{2*2}{5} x+2*4$

$2(\frac{2}{5}x+4) =\frac{4}{5} x+8$

So, Option (B) is correct.
