Answer:

2. 11x - 10

3. -8 + 11x - 2

5. -8 + 6x + 5x -2

Explanation:

To find the equivalent expressions, find the solution to the expression -2(4 - 3x) + (5x - 2). All expressions that are within the solving process or have the same solution are equal to the given expression.

-2(4 - 3x) + (5x - 2)

-2(4 - 3x) + 5x - 2

-8 + 6x + 5x - 2

-8 + 11x - 2

11x - 10

In this case, the equivalent expressions were within the solving process. From this, we can see that the equivalent expressions are 11x - 10, -8 + 11x - 2, and -8 + 6x + 5x - 2. Aka choices 2, 3, and 5.

hope this helps!
