Ineed you have used the distributive property to transform numerical expressions such as (5)(3) + (2)(3) to (5 + 2)(3). how would you transform 5x + 2x into a single term? substitute five different values into the expressions 5x + 2x and 7x - 1. what do you notice about the values of the expressions? is there any value that would make the two expressions equal? why or why not?

You would transform 5x + 2x into the same term with the associative property, adding like terms. If you subsitute the different values into the expressions you notice that both have a rate of change of 7 like an arithmetic sequence. To see if any value will make the two expressions equal you make them equal to each other.

5x + 2x = 7x -1

7x = 7x - 1

0 = -1

No they will never have be a solution  to both expressions to make them equal because they're parallel to each other.
