Answer:
Both expressions are equivalent to 35 when t=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by substituting with t=7.
Expression 1:
5(2t+3) If we substitute t for 7 we get:
5(2(7)+3)
Then we'll multiply inside the parenthesis:
5(14+3).
Then we will add inside the parenthesis:
5(17).
Then multiply and you get: 85
Expression 2: Let's apply the same steps we used in expression one and apply it to expression 2
5t+25
5(7)+25
35+25
60
Then compare and we get 60≠80 which is NOT correct. Now let's try our last option: Substituting with t=2.
Expression 1:
5(2t+3)
5(2(2)+3)
5(4+3)
5(7)
35
Expression 2:
5t+25
5(2)+25
10+25
35
We can then conclude both expressions are equivalent to 35 when t=2
