1) 2x-3 = x -3 + x

2) 2x - 6 = -6 + 2x

3)

4) 3x+0 = 3x

5)  

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to match each expression on the left with an equivalent expression on the right

The expressions are equivalent if the have the same results.

1) 2x - 3

Looking at the options the best match is:

x -3 + x

When solve we get:

2x-3

So, 2x-3 = x -3 + x

2) 2x - 6

Looking at the options the best match is:

-6 + 2x

Because according to commutative property: a+b = b+a

So, 2x - 6 = -6 + 2x

3)

First simplifying the given expression:

Looking at the options, -6.9+4.9 = -2

So,

4) 3x + 0

Looking at the options the best match is:

3x

Because, adding 0 in 3x will result in 3x

So, 3x+0 = 3x

5)

First simplifying:

Now, solving the option:

So,
