Are the expressions -0.5(3x + 5) and -1.5x + 2.5 equivalent? Explain why or why not.

1 answer:

5 0

No, they are not equivalent because if you distribute the -0.5 in the expression -0.5(3x+5) you will get -1.5x-2.5 which is not the same as -1.5+2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

With these types of problems, you have to subtract the outer and inner values and then divide by 2. So, (125-27)/2 = 49. Hope this helps!

Answer: y=-2x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=\frac{6-2}{0-2}=\frac{4}{-2}=-2$

So $y=2x+b$ . We can substitute (0, 6) to get:

6 = 2(0)+b

b=6.

Meaning y=-2x+6.
