Question

Which expression is equivalent to 4a + 10?

Answer 1

`(4a)/(10)+1` which is equivalent expression.

`a+(4)/(10)` which is equivalent expression.

Explanation:

The equivalent expression is the expression which will maintain the symetry of the expression will not change the expression.

We have been given the expression:

`4a+10`

Now, the maximum simplified form of this expression is

we can divide the each term by 4 we will get:

`a+(4)/(10)` which is equivalent expression.

or we can divide each term by 10 we get:

`(4a)/(10)+1` which is equivalent expression.

Answer 2

The equivalent expression of the given expression is 2(2a+5).

Explanation:

The given expression is

`4a+10`

The factors of given terms are

`4a=2* 2 * a`

`10=2* 5`

The common factor is 2. Take out the common factor from each term.

`4a+10=2(2a+5)`

Therefore the equivalent expression of the given expression is 2(2a+5).
