Question

Are these equivalent? Please help!

Answer 1

Hi, I'm Za'Riah! I will gladly assist you with your problem. (see explanation)

Explanation:

Solution:

We need to simplify the following expression: (5-7y+10)1/5

`((5-7y+10)*1)/(5)`

Grouping together numerical values

`((-7y+5+10)*1)/(5)`

We reduce the integers that can be added together: 5+10=15

=
`((-7y+5+10)*1)/(5)`

By reorganizing/simplifying/expanding the terms that are amenable to

`3 -(7)/(5)y`

Answer:

Yes they are in fact equivalent.
