Answer 1

What's this???

Answer 2

i dont know...thats what the problem looks like on my page....

Answer 3

what's the instruction of this question at the top of the page ?

Answer 4

Find a value of the variable that shows that the two expressions are not equivalent. Answers may vary.

Answer 5

Put a = 1

Answer 6

so then it would make the problem 8/7

Answer 7

The first one becomes 8/7 and the second 1

Put a = 2 and u get 9/7 and 2

Answer 8

how would i show my work for that?

Answer 9

???????

Answer 10

First expression is a+7
----
7

Putting a=1, we get 1+ 7 ie 8/7 ----------- (A)
----
7

The second expression is a

Putting a= 1 , we get a = 1 --------------(B)

From (A) and (B) we can see that the first expression is not equal to the second.

Answer 11

Similarly by replacing a by 2 in the two expressions you will get 9/7 ---- (A)
and 2 ------ (B)

Hope it is clear now??

Answer 12

so the answer is 1?

Answer 13

See, you have to show that the two expressions are not equivalent, that is values of
a + 7 and a are not equal/equivalent
-----
7

Answer 14

So from (A) u hv
a + 7 8
----- = ---
7 7

and From (B)
a = 1

So their values are not equivalent

Answer 15

Is it clear now???
