Question

4(x-3) and 4x-3
(2n) ^ 3 and 8n^3
(6x-3)/(3) and 2x

tell if the expressions are equivalent

Answer 1

well if you know distributive property.....

4(x-3) = (4)(x) + (4)(3) = 4x-12

and $4x-12 =4x-3\\4x-4x-12= 4x-4x-3\\-12 \neq -3$ False not equivalent

$(2n)^{3} = 2^3*n^3=8n^3\\ 8n^3 = 8n^3$ These expressions are equivalent

Last one....$\frac{6x-3}{3} = \frac{3(3x-1)}{3} = 3x-1\\  3x-1\neq 2x$ False not equivalent
