Answer:

Option b) and c) are correct

Explanation:

Given expression is 5s - 11b + 3s - 12b

5s - 11b + 3s - 12b=8s-23b (Rearranging the right hand side terms)

5s - 11b + 3s - 12b =-23b+8s

Option c) is correct

By the definition of equivalent the given expression is the sum of the two terms ( the terms may vary or equal)

From the definition of equivalent we get, Option b) is also correct

Therefore Option b) and c) are correct
