Answer:
For x = 3, each expression has a value of 11. For x = 6, each expression has a value of 74. These results suggest that the expressions are equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expressions are:
3x(x - 2) + 2 and 2x² + 3x - 16
Substitute x = 3 into 3x(x - 2) + 2
3(3)(3 - 2) + 2
= 9(1) + 2
= 9 + 2
= 11
Substitute x = 3 into 2x² + 3x - 16
2(3)² + 3(3) - 16
2(9) + 9 - 16
18 + 9 - 16
= 11
Substitute x = 6 into 3x(x - 2) + 2
3(6)(6 - 2) + 2
18(4) + 2= 74
Substitute x = 6 into 2x² + 3x - 16
2(6)² + 3(6) - 16
2(36) + 18 - 16
72 + 2
= 74
For x = 3, each expression has a value of 11. For x = 6, each expression has a value of 74. These results suggest that the expressions are equivalent
