Asap  i give brainliests--  mark which expressions are equivalent to 8 – 2(5x – 3). explain or show work to justify your decision.

A and B
A: 8-2 is 6 and then you can distribute
B: 2 is distributed to 5x and -3

Correct Answers:

B- using the distributive property, -2 times 5x is -10x, and -2 times -3 is 6. Therefore, an equivalent expression is 8-10+6

E- you can swap 8 to the opposite side of the equation, resulting in -2(5x-3)+8. From here, you distribute and get -10x+6+8. 6+8=14. Therefore, -10x+14 is equivalent.
