Question

Is 5 + 3x1 - x) equivalent to 8 – 8x?

Answer 1

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

5+3x is equal to 8x.

if there is no number in front of a variable, it is understood to be a one. so 1-x would basically be 1-1. this cancels out the x, making it impossible for the equivalent equation to be 8 - 8x
