Answer:
No, They are not equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
The two expressions are only said to be equivalent if they are the same regardless of whatever value the variable(s) is.
The variable in this question is x.
To prove this, we equate both expressions:
This shows that they have the same value ONLY when x is 1.
This is why Andre says that they are equivalent, but they are not.
1) 2 1/3 is also equal to 7/3
4 1/5 is also equal to 21/5
you need to make the denominators the same so you have to find the lowest common multiple, which is 15 since both 5 and 3 can be times by to make 15
you need to also times the numerators by the number you're timesing the denominator by
7/3 x 5 = 35/15
21/5 x 3 = 63/15
now add those together
35/15 + 63/15 = 98/15
now just convert 98/15 back to a mixed fraction
98/15 = 6 8/15
the answer is..
