Write an equivalent expression to 2x + 3 + 5x + 6 by combining like terms then use x=3 to show expressions are equivalent

7x + 9

Yes they are equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

The first expression given to us is

2x + 3 + 5x + 6

Let us call it equation (i)

Now we have to find equivalent expression to it

the given equation is 2x + 3 + 5x +6

similar terms are terms involving x and not involving x

so solving the equation gives

2x + 5x + 3 +6

= 7x + 9

Now we have two equations one is

2x + 3 +5x + 6              (i)

Other is

7x + 9                            (ii)

To check they are equivalent or not

Put x = 3 in equation (i)

2(3)+3+5(3)+6= 6 + 3 + 15 + 6

                      =30

Now put x=3 in second equation

7(3)+9=21 + 9

          =30

As the answer of both the equations are 30 so they are equivalent
