Determine whether the following expressions are equivalent, 94 a +28 and 108 a -14(a-2)
To determine whether the expressions are equivalent, we need to simplify them and see if they end up with the same result.
Starting with the first expression: 94a + 28
Now, let's simplify the second expression: 108a - 14(a-2)
Expand the brackets: 108a - 14a + 28
Combine like terms:
94a + 28 = 108a - 14a + 28
94a + 28 = 94a + 28
Since both expressions simplified to the same result, we can conclude that the expressions "94a + 28" and "108a - 14(a-2)" are equivalent.
