Pick one of the remaining choices and explain on the lines below, why thatchoice contains two expressions that are not equivalent for any value of r.

If two expressions have the same coefficients of the variable, then the variable can be any number

For the first choice

3(3r + 3) = 9r + 9 === 1st expression

6r + 6 2nd expression

If we equate them

9r + 9 = 6r + 6

If we solve the equation we will find just one value of r

9r + 9 - 6r = 6r - 6r + 6

3r + 9 = 6

3r + 9 - 9 = 6 - 9

3r = -3

r = -1

But in the other choices, the two expressions have the same coefficients of r

Then when we equate them they will cancel each other

Then r can be any value

Because it does not affect the equation

answer: your answer is a

2/4 is the answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= total pieces

both ate 9 pieces

mindy ate 3 so troy ate 6

6= (1/4)x

x =24
