Question

Emily is substituting t = 8 and t = 10 to determine if the two expressions are equivalent.

6 (t minus 4) 6 t minus 24

Which statement is true?
Both expressions are equivalent to 24 when t = 8.
Both expressions are equivalent to 44 when t = 8.
Both expressions are equivalent to 46 when t = 10.
The expressions are not equivalent.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

t = 8 and t = 10

Both expressions are not equivalent when t = 8 and t = 10

Proof :

6 (t - 4 ) and 6 (t -24)

Now substituting t = 8 , we have

6 (8 - 4 ) and 6 (8- 24)

6 ( 4 ) and 6 ( - 16 )

24 and -96

Now substituting t = 10,we have

6 ( 10 - 4 ) and 6 ( 10 - 24 )

6 ( 6 ) and 6 ( -14 )

36 and - 84

Hence , The expressions are not equivalent.
