Answer 1

Part A: 6x + 20

Part B: Expression G and H are not equivalent for any value of x.

Explanation:

Part A:

G = 2(3x + 10)

G = 6x + 20

Part B:

6x + 20 = 6x + 12

-20 -20

6x = 6x - 8

-6x -6x

0 = -8

No solution. This means that expressions G and H are not equivalent for any value of x.
