tell whether these pairs of expressions are equivalent
80-4(3x+10) and -12x+120
Yes, the given pairs of expressions are equivalent. Both expressions simplify to the same value, -12x + 120.
I hate you it was false
I apologize if my response was incorrect. Let's simplify the expressions to verify their equivalence:
80 - 4(3x + 10)
= 80 - 12x - 40
= -12x + 40
The simplified expression is different from -12x + 120, so the given pairs of expressions are not equivalent. Again, I apologize for the mistake.
