<h3>
Answer: Yes they are equivalent</h3>
==============================================
Work Shown:
Expand out the first expression to get
(a-3)(2a^2 + 3a + 3)
a(2a^2 + 3a + 3) - 3(2a^2 + 3a + 3)
2a^3 + 3a^2 + 3a - 6a^2 - 9a - 9
2a^3 + (3a^2-6a^2) + (3a-9a) - 9
2a^3 - 3a^2 - 6a - 9
Divide every term by 2 so we can pull out a 2 through the distributive property
2a^3 - 3a^2 - 6a - 9 = 2(a^3 - 1.5a^2 - 3a - 4.5)
This shows that (a-3)(2a^2 + 3a + 3) is equivalent to 2(a^3 - 1.5a^2 - 3a - 4.5)
It’s what the other person said trust me :)
Given:
The given expression is:

To find:
The single logarithm expression for the given expression.
Solution:
Quotient property of logarithm:

We have,

Using quotient property of logarithm, we get


Therefore, the required expression is
.
4(-3) + 3(-5) + 7
-12+-15+7=-20
