Question

Which expression is not equivalent
to (x + 4)(x – 3)?

Answer 1

Answer:

A) x² + 7x - 12 is NOT equivalent to the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) expand by distributing terms.

${x }^{2} - 3x + 4(x - 3)$

2) Expand by distributing terms.

${x}^{2} - 3x + 4x - 12$

3) Collect like terms.

${x}^{2} + ( - 3x + 4x) - 12$

4) Simplify.

${x}^{2} + x - 12$

The second equation are equivalent to the equation. but the first equation is not equivalent to the main equation.
