Question

lauren says the two expressions 3x+4(2x+5) and 6x +5x+5 are equivalent
simplify the expressions to determine whether or not lauren is correct

Answer 1

Answer:

lauren is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4(2x+5)

6x+5x+5

simplify the expressions

3x+4*2x+4*5=3x+8x+20=11x+20

6x+5x+5=11x+5

11x+20 does not equal 11x+5 so lauren is incorrect

hope this helps
