Question

Substitute w = 1 and w = 3 to determine if the two expressions are equivalent.

4 (3 w + 4) 16 w + 12

Which statements are true? Check all that apply.
A The value of both expressions when w = 1 is 28.
B The two expressions are equivalent.
C The value of both expressions when w = 1 is 16.
D The two expressions are not equivalent.
E The value of both expressions when w = 3 is 52.
F The value of both expressions when w = 3 is 60.

Answer 1

For this question I would say the answer would be A and D.

Answer 2

The true statements are A and D

Explanation:

4 (3(3) + 4) is 52, while 16(3) + 12 is 60

that would not be equivalent in w = 3 but it would in w = 1
