Sagot :

Expression A is[tex]5(x+1)-2x+11[/tex]

We use the distributive property

[tex]5x+5-2x+11[/tex]

Then, we reduce like terms.

[tex]3x+16[/tex]

Therefore, expression A is equivalent to expression 4.

Expression B is[tex]2x+2+x+5[/tex]

We reduce like terms

[tex]3x+7[/tex]

Therefore, expression B is equivalent to 2 because

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(6x+14)=3x+7[/tex]

Expression C is[tex]\frac{-3}{8}x-9+\frac{5}{8}x+1[/tex]

We reduce like terms

[tex]\frac{-3x+5x}{8}-8=\frac{2x}{8}-8=\frac{x}{4}-8[/tex]

Therefore, expression C is equivalent to expression 1.

Expression D is [tex]2.06x-5.53+4.98-9.02[/tex]

We know that

[tex]2.06x+(-5.53)+4.98+(-9.02)=2.06x-5.53+4.98-9.02[/tex]

Therefore, expression D is equivalent to expression 5.

Expression E is[tex]99x+44[/tex]

If we express each number as factors, we have

[tex]99x+44=11\cdot9x+11\cdot4=11(9x+4)[/tex]

Therefore, expression E is equivalent to expression 3.
