Is 4 - 4x and 4(1 - x) equivalent expressions? Why or why not?

Hey there!

Yes

Is 4 - 4x and 4(1 - x) equivalent expressions? Why or why not?

If you want to know whether they are equivalent, let's first find the value of both of them.

Let's add parenthesis to 4 and (1-x) and add negative to x.

Now separate all with parenthesis.

Since both had the same value, they are equivalent.

Hope this helps!

hi! i think the answer is 1/2 : )
