Question

When you simplify each side of the equation 5n – 2(3 – n) = 4(2n – 3), you will get the equivalent equation 7n – 6 = 8n - 12.

True
False

Answer 1

false

Answer 2

5n – 2(3 – n) = 4(2n – 3)
On the LHS
-2(3-n)=-6+2n (distribute)

5n-6+2n=4(2n-3)

4(2n-3)=8n-12

5n-6+2n=8n-12

What do you think now?

Answer 3

it is true because answer is
7n-6=8n-12
