Question

Gloria says the two expressions ¼ (12x + 24) - 9x and -6 (x+1) are equivalent. Is she correct? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

Answer: ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* No, they are not equivalent. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Step-by-step explanation:

♥*♡∞:｡.The first expression is equal to 3x + 24 - 9x, or 24 - 6x, and the second equation equals 6-6x. If you set them equal to eachother, you get 24 - 6x = 6 - 6x. The 6x's cancel out, so you're left with 24 = 6, which is not true. The expressions are not equivalent. ｡.｡:∞♡*♥
