2x+5-0.75x+2= 1.25x+7; Equivalent

x-7+.25x+14= 1.25x+7; Equivalent

x+.25+5+2= x+7.25; Not Equivalent

hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

1)$x+.25+5+2$=$[x= - \frac{28}{5}]=[x=-5.6$$]$ $EQUIVALENT$

2)$x-7+.25x+14$=$[x=-\frac{28}{5}]=[x=-5.6]$ $EQUIVALENT$

3)$2x+5-0.75x=2$=$[x=-\frac{29}{4}]=[x=-7.25]$ $IS$ $NOT$ $EQUIVALENT$

$1.25x+7$=$[x=-\frac{28}{5}]=[x=-5.6]$

Answer:

1 and 2 are equivalent, 3 is not equivalent!
