Jade wants to verify that the expression 5(3x – 6) is equivalent to 15x – 30. she substitutes 2 into each expression and evaluates each one. how will she know if 5(3x – 6) is equivalent to 15x – 30? they are equivalent if the two values are the same. they are equivalent if the value for 5(3x + 6) is greater. they are equivalent if the value for 15x + 30 is greater. they are equivalent if one value is negative and the other value is positive.

A)They are equivalent if the two values are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just completed this for edge.

ad = ae + ed = y + 7

similar triangles therefor

ac/ab = ad/ae

6/4 = (y + 7) / y

cross multiply

6y = 4(y + 7)

6y = 4y + 28

2y = 28

y = 14

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
