Answer 1

Answers

The first one is NOT equivalent

❌ 8 - 4( -2.2x + 1.1 ) = 8.8x + 12.4

The second one IS equivalent

✅ 7x -2(1.3x + 3.5) = 4.4x -7

Step by step

8 - 4( -2.2x + 1.1 ) = 8.8x + 12.4
Distribute
8 + 4.4x - 4.4 = 8.8x + 12.4
4.4x + 3.6 = 8.8x + 12.4
❌Not equal

7x -2(1.3x + 3.5) = 4.4x -7
7x -2.6x -7 = 4.4x -7
4.4x -7 = 4.4x -7
✅This is equivalent!
