Identify the expression equivalent to 4(x + x + 7) − 2x + 8 − 4 by substituting x = 1 and x = 2. 6x + 11 3(x + 7) 2(3x + 16) 3x + 16

2(3x+16)

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the expression equivalent to 4(x + x + 7) − 2x + 8 − 4

4(x + x + 7) − 2x + 8 − 4

When x=1 , the expression becomes 4(1+1+7)-2(1)+8-4=38

When x=2 , the expression becomes 4(2+2+7)-2(1)+8-4=44

Plug in x=1  and check with each expression

6x + 11 =6(1) +11= 16

3(x + 7) = 3(1+7)= 3(8)= 24

2(3x + 16) = 2(3(1)+16)= 38 , we got same answer when x=1, now check with x=2

2(3x + 16) = 2(3(2)+16)= 44

3x + 16= 3+16= 19

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0
