The equivalent expressions are Negative 10 x + StartFraction 6 over 2 EndFraction and Negative 2 (5 x) + (negative 2) (negative three-fourths)

Solving algebraic equation

Given the expression

Negative 2 (5 x minus three-fourths)

We are to determine the equivalent expressions

-2 (5x - 3/4)

Expand to have:

-10x -2(-3/4)

= -10x + 6/4

= -10x + 3/2

Hence the equivalent expressions are Negative 10 x + StartFraction 6 over 2 EndFraction and Negative 2 (5 x) + (negative 2) (negative three-fourths)
