Answer:
Explanation:
Carry out indicated operations to see if they are equal
2(6-3x)+x=2(3x)+x+12
2(6)+2(-3x)+x=6x+x+12
12-6x+x=6x+x+12 combine like terms on both sides
12-5x=12+7x (we can see here they are unequal but we can continue) subtract 12 from both sides
-5x=7x divide both sides by x
-5=7
7 is not equal to -5 so the original expressions aren’t equivalent.
