Two expressions are shown below: 5(4a+7u)
20a+35u
Are these expressions equivalent? Explain why or why not.

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

yes because 5 times 4 a

is 20 a and 5 times 7u is 35

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to give the variables a number value such as a=2 u=3

5(4*2+7*3)=145

20*2+35*3=145

They are equivalent

the slope of the first function is -3. (3/1)

the slope of the second function is 1. (13-10/6-3).

since |-3| is greater than |1|, the function with the steepest slope is the first.
