What will be the result of substituting 2 for x in both expressions below? One-half x + 4 x + 6 minus one-half x minus 2 Both expressions equal 5 when substituting 2 for x because the expressions are equivalent. Both expressions equal 6 when substituting 2 for x because the expressions are equivalent. One expression equals 5 when substituting 2 for x, and the other equals 2 because the expressions are not equivalent. One expression equals 6 when substituting 2 for x, and the other equals 2 because the expressions are not equivalent.

Replace x with 2 and solve each equation:

1/2(2) + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5

2+ 6 -1/2(2) -2 = 8-3 = 5

The answer is:

both expressions equal 5 when substituting 2 for x because the expressions are equivalent.
