Latesha justifies whether the expression 4x – 3 is equivalent to 1/2 (4x-6) - 2x(1-3) by letting x=2 in both expressions. Which values should Latesha compare to justify whether the expressions are equivalent?
2 and 5
5 and 9
5 and 5
9 and 9

Answer 1

5 and 9

Explanation:

Answer 2

Resolve both equations for x-2

1) 4x-3

4*2-3

The result is 5

2) 1/2 (4x-6) – 2x(1-3)

1/2 (4*2-6) – 2*2(1-3)

1/2 (2) – 4(-2)

1+8

The result is 9

Latesha should compare to justify whether the expressions are equivalent 5 and 9
