Answer:

Yes

-2(3x-7) is equivalent to 5+6x-19-12x

Explanation:

Given in the question two expression

-2(3x-7)

5+6x-19-12x

We will apply distributive law to solve first expression

a(b + c) = ab + ac

-2(3x-7)

-2(3x) + -2(7)

-6x -14

For the second expression rearrange the terms

5+6x-19-12x

-12x+6x -19+5

-6x -14

Since both equations when expanded have same answers, hence they are equivalent
