Question

Is 4x+5 eqvalent to 4(x+5)

Answer 1

Explanation:

No, 4x+5 does not equal 4(x+5), because the operations are different for each expression.

4x+5 is an addition expression and 4(x+5) operation is multiplication.

You must using the distributive property to find the product: 4(x+5) = 4(x) + 4(5) = 4x +20

Therefore, 4x+5 is not equivalent to 4(x+5).

4x+5 is not equivalent to 4x+20.

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

4x+5 is not equivalent to 4(x+5) because when you solve for 4(x+5) using distributive property it equals 4x+20 which is not the same as 4x+5.
