Answer:
The 3rd equation, -2x-10 = -2(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Equivalent expressions means both sides of the equal sign equal the same thing
To find which ones are equivalent expressions, we must solve/simplify both sides of each equation to see if they're actually equal to each other
We will use PEMDAS for this
1. 2x + 10 = -2(x - 5)
Start with Parentheses, and distribute the -2 to what's inside said parentheses
2x + 10 = -2x + 10
Not equal
2. -2(x+5) = 2x-10
Once again, start with Parentheses, and distribute the -2 to what's inside said parentheses
-2x - 10 = 2x - 10
Not equal
3. -2x-10 = -2(x+5)
Once again, start with Parentheses, and distribute the -2 to what's inside said parentheses
-2x - 10 = -2x - 10
Equal
4. -2(x-5) = -2x-10
Once again, start with Parentheses, and distribute the -2 to what's inside said parentheses
-2x + 10 = -2x - 10
Not equal
