Question

lauren says the two expressions 3x+4(2x+5) and 6x +5x+5 are equivalent
simplify the expressions to determine whether or not lauren is correct

Answers

  1. Answer:
    lauren is incorrect
    Step-by-step explanation:
    3x+4(2x+5)
    6x+5x+5
    simplify the expressions
    3x+4*2x+4*5=3x+8x+20=11x+20
    6x+5x+5=11x+5
    11x+20 does not equal 11x+5 so lauren is incorrect
    hope this helps
