Question

Is -2x+3 the same as 2x-3

Answer 1

no they are different numbers, however their signs are inverted

Explanation:

Answer 2

no

Explanation:

-2x+3 is not the same as 2x-3 because, let's say we set each equation equal to something...

-2x+3 = 10 2x-3 = 10

-3 -3 +3 +3

------------------ -----------------

-2x = 7 2x = 13

x =
`(7)/(2)` x =
`(13)/(2)`

x = 3.5 x = 6.5

As we can see, these equations are not the same, because, when we set them equal to the same value, the answers are different.

Hope this helps! :D
