Question

1. Gloria says the two expressions - (12x + 24) - 9x and -6(x + 1) are equivalent. Is she correc Explain how you know.​

Answer 1

Answer:

No they aren't equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take each expression

the first one is

- (12x+24) - 9x = -12x -24 -9x = -21x -24 = -3 (7x +8)

the second expression

-6 (x+1) = -6x-6

So they aren't equivalent
