Question

Pls help. I rly don't understand it.​

Answer 1

You just need to demonstrate that the expression is not equivalent. To do that, we just need to evaluate the expression with a specific number.

`(3)/(8)x+2 \\eq (3)/(2)x+5`

For
`x=0`, we have

`(3)/(8)(0)+2 \\eq (3)/(2)(0)+5\\2 \\eq 5`

Notice that the answer is true because 2 is not equivalent to 5.

Therefore, the expression is actually non-equivalent.
