Which of this expressions are equivalent to the one below? Check all that apply. 5*(3+7)

A. 5*3+5*7
B. (5*3)+7
C. 5*(7+3)
D. (3+7)*5

The answer would be D because it’s just flipped and you get the same answer if you plug it in the calculator. Have a good day :)

Question 1:
It's mostly a preference problem. You can do any of those options and still be correct. The easiest is to solve for y in the second equation. All you have to do is subtract 2x.

Question 2:
x is already solved for. graphing doesn't matter in the substitution method. Since x is already solved for, then it would be easy to substitute 2-y for x in the second equation.

Question 3:
If you are given x, then just substitute the value for x in the y = equation.
x = 10
y = 3x - 5

y = 3(10) - 5
y = 30 - 5
y = 25
