Answer:

B

Explanation:

Let's look at A.

A simplified = 7x - 6

Let's look at B

B simplified = 2 + 7x

Let's look at C

C simplified = -6 + 7x OR 7x - 6

Let's look at D, lastly.

D simplified = 7x - 6

In conclusion, we can see that 7x - 6 is the answer we need to arrive at to have equivalent expressions. Only B does not have that answer, so B is the answer.

Hope that helps!
