Sagot :

Answer:

No, 5 + 3(1 - x) is NOT  equivalent to 8 - 8x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To see if they are equivalent to each other, we first need to simplify the first expression:

5 + 3(1 - x)

Distribute the 3 into the parenthesis:

5 + 3 -3x

Combine like terms:

8 - 3x

No, 5 + 3(1 - x) is NOT  equivalent to 8 - 8x.
