Answer 1

Answer:

The equivalent equation would be 6-2+4x, which could be simplified down to 4+4x

Sophia´s expression is wrong because she did not distribute correctly.

Ursula´s expression is incorrect because she tried adding -4x with 2. This is incorrect because the 2 does not a variable or 2 does not have an x beside it, so you can not add them both together to try to get to the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

6⁻(2-4x) Given

6(-2+4x) Distributive Property, this is when you multiply everything in the parenthesis that is outside which would be -1 multiplied by -2 and -1 multiplied by -4x.
