Answer 1

1)
`x+.25+5+2`=
`[x= - (28)/(5)]=[x=-5.6`
`]`
`EQUIVALENT`

2)
`x-7+.25x+14`=
`[x=-(28)/(5)]=[x=-5.6]`
`EQUIVALENT`

3)
`2x+5-0.75x=2`=
`[x=-(29)/(4)]=[x=-7.25]`
`IS`
`NOT`
`EQUIVALENT`

`1.25x+7`=
`[x=-(28)/(5)]=[x=-5.6]`

Answer:

1 and 2 are equivalent, 3 is not equivalent!

Answer 2

2x+5-0.75x+2= 1.25x+7; Equivalent

x-7+.25x+14= 1.25x+7; Equivalent

x+.25+5+2= x+7.25; Not Equivalent

hope this helps! :)
