Generally, x <span>• x is accepted to mean "x times x" or "x multiplied by x"
and x+x means "x plus x" or "x added to x"
let's try by subsituting numbers for them
if we can find one case where the statement "x+x is the same as x</span><span>•x" is false, then it is not true
let's try x=4
x+x=x</span><span>•x
4+4=4</span>•<span>4
8=16
false
so it is not true
(x+x is equal to 2x, so therefor if we were to solve 2x=x</span><span>•x, we would get that it is only true for x=2 and x=0)
it is not always true

The first poster is not an accurate representation of the painting, but the second poster is an accurate representation because the ratio between the first and original lengths did not equal the ratio between the first and original widths but the second poster's ratios were equal.
X=-1
x=1
x=2
if wrong sorry
Answer:
often one of the first strategies that students learn when solving problems. This is a flexible strategy that is often used as a starting point when solving a problem, and can be used as a safety net, when no other strategy is immediately obvious.
Step-by-step explanation:
21x - 14
Explanation:
you distribute the 7, and first multiply it by 3x to get 21x. Then you distribute the 7 and multiply it by the -2 to get -14.
Hope this helps!
