Question

Collin is substituting t = 2 and t = 6 to determine if the

two expressions are equivalent.
Which statement is true?
A.Both expressions are equivalent to 11 when t = 2.
B.Both expressions are equivalent to 33 when t = 6.
C.Both expressions are equivalent to 23 when t = 6.
D. The expressions are not equivalent.

Answer 1

To determine if the two expressions are equivalent, we substitute t=2 and t=6 into the expressions and compare the results. The correct answer is D. The expressions are not equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if the two expressions are equivalent, we substitute t=2 and t=6 into the expressions and compare the results.

Expression 1: 1₁ = 6 - 21₁ + 22.5 - 31₁ = 28.5 - 51₁

Expression 2: 11

Substituting t=2 into both expressions:

Expression 1: 28.5 - 51(2) = 28.5 - 102 = -73.5

Expression 2: 11

Since the values are not equal, we can conclude that the expressions are not equivalent. Therefore, the correct answer is D. The expressions are not equivalent.
