Which expression is equivalent to 17x − 8x + 2 and why?


2 − 9x, because (17x − 8x) + 2 = −9x + 2 = 2 − 9x

2 + 9x, because (17x − 8x) + 2 = 9x + 2 = 2 + 9x

11x, because 17x − 8x + 2 = 9x + 2 = 11x

7x, because 17x − 8x + 2 = 17x − 10x = 7x

Answer 1

Answer:

2 + 9x, because (17x − 8x) + 2 = 9x + 2 = 2 + 9x

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expresion is 17x-8x+2.

We want to find an expression that is equivalent to this expression.

We first simplify:

$17x - 8x + 2$

This implies that

$9x + 2$

By the commutative property;

$9x + 2 = 2 + 9x$

The second choice is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:
