Help Will give brainliest! The box below shows the first two of four steps for identifying equivalent expressions. • Simplify each expression. • Substitute a number for each variable. • • Which shows the last two steps in the directions? • Compare the resulting expressions. • If they have identical terms, the expressions are equivalent. • Compute the value of each expression. • Compare the values. If they are equal, the expressions are equivalent. • Decide if there are like terms in each expression. • Compare the like terms to simplify each expression. • Compare each expression, looking for like terms between them. • If each term matches one in the other expression, they are equivalent.

B

• Compute the value of each expression.

• Compare the values. If they are equal, the expressions are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

After you Simplify each expression and Substitute a number for each variable you have to compute it and after you do you have to compare and then you will see if they are equal.

This is my first time doing this so If it is wrong Im sorry.

because 1.2 isnt half of 6 duh

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

1

4

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

1

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−37

−3

x=
