Question

are 3(3x -y ) and 12(x - 4y) equivalent expressions

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  

are 3(3x -y ) and 12(x - 4y) equivalent expressions  

They are not equivalent expressions because

3(3x – y) will be equal to 9x – 3y after simplification and

12 (x – 4y) will be equal to 12 x – 48 y

So the expressions (9x – 3y) and (12 x – 48 y) are not equal .

Therefore they are not equivalent expressions
