Question

Is 4 - 4x and 4(1 - x) equivalent expressions? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Hey there!

ANSWER:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Is 4 - 4x and 4(1 - x) equivalent expressions? Why or why not?

If you want to know whether they are equivalent, let's first find the value of both of them.

`4-4x`

`-4x+4`

`4(1-x)`

Let's add parenthesis to 4 and (1-x) and add negative to x.

`(4)(1+-x)`

Now separate all with parenthesis.

`(4)(1)+(4)(-x)=4-4x\\-4x+4(ANSWER)`

Since both had the same value, they are equivalent.

Hope this helps!
