The best way to find out is to make sure each equations are in equal forms. In this case, I’d like to make sure that both equations are expanded.

Although 6x+12 is expanded, 2(3x–6) is not. All you have to do is multiply both numbers inside the parentheses with the number on the outside.

2(3x–6)
2×3x=6x; 2×(–6)=–12

So, 2(3x–6) is 6x–12.

However, that does mean that 6x–12≠6x+12. (The expressions are NOT equivalent.) This is because although the variable 6x are the same, 12 is not equal to –12, meaning they aren’t the same number.

Answer:

The two expressions are not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x-6) = 6x-12 which is not equal to 6x+12 because of the positive and

negative signs

Two lines intersect to form angles 1, 2, 3, and 4 as given. The measure of ∠3 is 38°. What is the measure of ​∠2​ ?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

142° is the measure of angle 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines intersect, they make four angles. The angles facing each other are equal.

Let's say that two lines a and b intersected each other to make angles 1,2,3 and 4 respectively.

The measure of angle 3 = 38 degrees.

We know that the angle 1 is against angle 3 and is equal to 38.

Also Angle 2 and Angle 4 are also against each other and are equal let's say equal to x degrees.

Now, the sum of all four angles = 360 degrees

∠1 + ∠2+ ∠3 + ∠4 = 360°

38° + x + 38° + x = 360°

2x = 360° - 76°

2x = 284°

x = 142°

Hence, ∠2 = 142°

What are the significant digits in 0.00025km?
brilliants [131]
Anything between the decimal and last non-zero digit
so 00025 are significant
the 0 in front is insignificant because it could be
00000.00025

zeroes after the 25 don't matter becasue it could be
0.000250000000 and it wouldn't change


the sig figs are 00025
