HEL MEEE 5x-7+3x and 3x-7+5x
equivalent or not equivalent

4y+9+3y and 3y+9+4y
equivalent or not equivalent

6z-2z+4 and 4+2z-6z
equivalent or not equivalent

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5x-7+3x and 3x-7+5x

5x - 7 + 3x

Collect like terms

5x + 3x - 7 = 8x - 7

3x-7+5x

Collect like terms

3x + 5x - 7 = 8x - 7

They're equivalent

2. 4y+9+3y and 3y+9+4y

4y + 9 + 3y

Collect like terms

4y + 3y + 9 = 7y + 9

3y + 9 + 4y

Collect like terms

3y + 4y + 9 = 7y + 9

They're equivalent

3. 6z-2z+4 and 4+2z-6z

6z - 2z + 4 = 4z + 4

4 + 2z - 6z = 4 - 4z

They're not equivalent

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

i'm assuming that it's c.)   volcanoes built the mountains and earthquakes tore them down.
