The equivalent expression to the original algebraic expression is
-4x^2 -3x -5

What are equivalent expressions?

Equivalent expression are expression that are similar although they may appear different when written down.

We are to find the equivalent expression to the algebra expression:


-4x+2x-5(1+x)

To find the equivalent expression, we can expand the given expression by distributing 5 to open the bracket.


= -4x^2+ 2x-5 -5x

By rearrangement of common terms;


= -4x^2 -5x+ 2x -5


= -4x^2 -3x -5

Thus, the equivalent expression to the original algebraic expression is = -4x^2 -3x -5
