Question

Which equation is equivalent to....

Answer 1

@satellite73 @rational @amistre64 help me!!!

Answer 2

2 functions are the same when they have the same value for any input.

simple test value ... just let x = 0, what do we end up?

Answer 3

=3

Answer 4

@amistre64 is it?

Answer 5

no, what do we get when x=0?

Answer 6

-2(x+3) -4x = 10
0 0

-2(0+3) -4(0) = 10

what does this simplify to?

Answer 7

-6

Answer 8

@amistre64

Answer 9

-6

Answer 10

-6 = 10

now, which option is the same?

Answer 11

x=0 right?

Answer 12

when x=0 yes, the options simplify real quick like

Answer 13

C?

Answer 14

@amistre64

Answer 15

yep, -6x-6=10, when x=0 -6=10

its the only one with the same results so its has to be good

Answer 16

ok!

Answer 17

if we had 2 options that it narrowed to we would have simply tested for like x=1

Answer 18

the other way, we distribute and combine like terms to find an equivalent statment

-2(x+3)-4x = 10

-2x-6-4x=10

-6x-6=10

Answer 19

thank you!!!
