Hey there!


QUESTION #1
-2(-4x + 10)

= -2(-4x) - 2(10)

= 8x - 20

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4(2x - 6)

= 4(2x) + 4(-6)

= 8x - 24

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8x - 20 ≠ 8x - 24

Thus your answer is: FALSE

—————————————————-
QUESTION #2

2(4x - 10)

= 2(4x) + 2(-10)

= 8x - 20

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4(2x - 6)

= 4(2x) + 4(-6)

= 8x - 24

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8x - 20 ≠ 8x - 24

Thus, your answer is: FALSE

To sum it all up [NONE OF THEM ARE EQUIVALENT] to each other because they all give different results.


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
