Lillian thinks that 725 - 4x3 is the same as 3.22. Which statement shows that it is NOT the same?

The correct option is (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

Lillian thinks that 7x⁵ - 4x³ is the same as 3x².

Option (a) :

7x⁵ - 4x³ = 3x²

It is wrong, as we cannot say directly that they are equal.

Option (b):

7x⁵ - 4x³ ≠ 3x²

It is wrong, as we cannot say directly that they are not equal.

Option (c):

7(2)⁵ - 4(2)³ = 3(2)²

LHS,

7(32) -4(8) = 192

RHS, 12

Here, LHS ≠ RHS

It is correct.

Option (d) :

7(2)⁵ × 4(2)³ = 3(2)²

Here, multiplication is done instead of addition. So, it is wrong.

Hence, the correct option is (c).

207/8 is the right
