-3(x +7) and ______x + ________

Answer 1

Hello! I tried, I hope you will understand

Answer 2

1. 2(x + 4) and 2x + 8 -there is no rearrangement needed.

2. 5x - 45 and 5(x - 9).- we can distribute 5 to get 5x - 45.

3.3(x + 7) and -3x - 21.-there is no rearrangement needed.

Explanation:

The distributive and the commutative properties of addition can be used to complete equivalent expressions.

1. applying the distributive property, we multiply 2 by both x and 4.

2. applying the distributive property, we multiply 5 by both x and -9.

3. applying the distributive property, we multiply -3 by both x and 7.
