No it is Not Equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

5x and x + 5 are NOT equivalent because 5x would be 5 times x or 5(x) but x + 5 is just 5 + x.

it is important because it make the problem simpler to solve, and you're more likely to make less mistakes because you know the place value for each number, and so that you don't mistakenly add numbers with different values.

in short, because you're more likely to solve the problem correctly if you do.
