Question

Determine if the two expressions are equivalent and explain your reasoning.

11p + 2(p + 3) and 1 + p(13) + 2


I WILL ONLY MARK BRAINLIEST IF YOU EXPLAIN

Answer 1

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

11p + 2(p+3) and 1+ (13p) +2

Combinethe terms of the first expression,

=11p + 2p + 6

=13p +6

Now combine the terms of the second expression,

=13p +3

So we find that these expressions are not equivalent.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LHS                        =                    RHS

11p + 2p + 6            =            1 + 13p + 2

13p + 6                    =            3 + 13p                

                     LHS  #   RHS

Therefore, LHS is not equal to RHS so the answer is false, the two expressions are not equivalent.
