Question

Ava says that 100

12 is equivalent to 2 (52 – 6). Is this true or false?
O True
False

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

Assuming that the first equation is 10x - 12, you need to solve both equations in order to see if the equations are equivalent from each other.

`10x-12`

`10x-12=2(5x-6)`

`=2(5x-6)`

Then...

`2*(52-6)`

Use Order of Operations...

`52-6=46`

`2*46=92`

`2(5x-6)<96`

Therefore "false" or the second option is your answer.

Hope this helps.
