These algebraic expressions are not equivalent. Explain why they are not equivalent.
+ 8x – x2 - 6x
2x² – 2x
x2-1 + 8x

If you simplify the first expression, you will not get the second expression. In the first expression, the x2 terms have coefficients of 1 and –1 and, when combined, the result is 0. Also, the x terms have coefficients of 8 and –6 and, when combined, the result is 2. Finally, the constant from the first expression is not in the second expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
