Select ALL equivalent expressions to: (7𝑥 ― 2) ― (0.04𝑥 ― 3 + 0.2𝑥) (2 points)
(7𝑥 ― 2) ― (0.04𝑥 ― 3 + 0.2𝑥) can be simplified as follows:
= 7𝑥 ― 2 ― 0.04𝑥 + 3 - 0.2𝑥
= 6.96𝑥 + 1
Therefore, the equivalent expressions are:
1. 6.96𝑥 + 1

I apologize for the confusion. Let's revisit the expression and determine the equivalent expressions.
(7𝑥 ― 2) ― (0.04𝑥 ― 3 + 0.2𝑥)
First, let's simplify the expression:
= 7𝑥 ― 2 ― 0.04𝑥 + 3 - 0.2𝑥
= 7𝑥 ― 0.04𝑥 - 0.2𝑥 ― 2 + 3
= 6.76𝑥 + 1
The equivalent expressions to (7𝑥 ― 2) ― (0.04𝑥 ― 3 + 0.2𝑥) are:
1. 6.76𝑥 + 1 (Correct)
2. 7.16𝑥 - 5 (Incorrect)
3. 5.76𝑥 (Incorrect)
4. 7.76𝑥 (Incorrect)
theres more then 1 correct answer
I apologize for the confusion earlier. You are correct, there can be multiple correct answers. After revisiting the expression, the equivalent expressions to (7𝑥 – 2) – (0.04𝑥 – 3 + 0.2𝑥) are:
1. (7𝑥 – 2) – (0.24𝑥 – 3)
2. (7𝑥 – 2) – 0.24𝑥 + 3
3. (7𝑥 – 2 + 0.24𝑥) – 3
4. 7𝑥 – 2 – 0.24𝑥 + 3
I apologize again for any confusion caused. Thank you for pointing out the error.
