Which best proves why the expressions 4 (x + 3) + 2 x and 6 (x + 2) must be equivalent expressions? When x = 3, both expressions have a value of 30. When x = 5, both expressions have a value of 42.

Answer:

The answer is choice first which is "When x = 3, both expressions have a value of 30".

Explanation:

Given:

First expression:
4(x+3)+2x

Second expression:
6(x+2)

Through the question when we substitute x=3 into its first equation so we get:


\to 4(3+3)+2(3) \\\\ \to 4* (6)+6\\\\ \to 24+6\\\\ \to 30

The value will be substituted by x=3 into its second expression:


\to 6(3+2)\\\\ \to 6(5)\\\\ \to 30

So, it will prove that both the two expressions are equivalent.
