Question: find equivalent expressions for the given expressions. a. 5/6(x - 6) + 1/6(3 - x) b. (y + 7)4 + 8 - 5y

To find equivalent equations, you simply have to simplify both of these :)

a)  5/6(x - 6) + 1/6(3 - x)

Simplify.

5/6x - 5 + 1/2 - 1/6x

Add like terms.

(5/6x - 1/6x) + (-5 + 1/2)

Simplify.

4/6x +(-4.5)

Simplify.

2/3x - 4.5

b) (y + 7)4 + 8 - 5y

Simplify.

4y + 28 + 8 - 5y

Add like terms.

(4y - 5y) + (28 + 8)

Simplify.

-y + 36
